Rejection of refund application - In the show-cause notice, all that has been stated is that few relevant documents have not been furnished and in the absence of those, it was not possible for the authority to process the application for the refund of the ITC. There is not a single allegation beyond this in the show-cause notice. Upon the documents being furnished by the writ-applicant and while going through those documents, if the authority had any doubts with respect to all such transactions, it was expected of the authority to once-again give an opportunity to the writ-applicant to explain all such alleged dubious transactions. The authority could not have straightway proceeded to pass the impugned order incorporating all the details and taking the writ-applicant – firm by a surprise. - HC
