Violation of principles of natural justice - Not giving an opportunity of hearing the petitioner - The order also states that the owner of the goods, in his reply stated that no personal hearing is required, as he has submitted his reply. Of course, this aspect is disputed by the learned counsel for the petitioner, but from the record, a detailed written reply was given explaining his stand, which was not accepted. If factual aspects or perusal of record is warranted, the petitioner ought to have preferred an appeal, as provided under the Act.
