Cancellation of the IEC - EPCG Scheme - levy of penalty - the learned Judge while disposing the writ petition filed by the appellant, challenging the order of cancellation of IEC passed by the third respondent, has correctly directed the jurisdictional officer under the Act, to issue appropriate show cause notice to the appellant, within a period of 30 days from the date of receipt of a copy of the order; further directed the appellant to file a reply within a period of 30 days; and thereafter, directed the jurisdictional officer to pass appropriate order, in accordance with law, within a period of 90 days, after giving adequate opportunity of hearing to the appellant. Further, the interest of the appellant was rightly protected by extending the status quo order for a period of 90 days. - HC
