Levy of Penalty u/s 112 - Scope of the show cause notice - The CESTAT noted that, no show cause notice has been issued proposing the demand of differential duty or the penalty. On adjudication, the penalty was imposed only under section 114A of the Act and there was no reference at all to the provisions of section 112 of the Act - The Tribunal found that the appellate authority had no jurisdiction to impose a penalty u/s 112 when the original penalty was imposed u/s 114A. The Commissioner (Appeals) had set aside the penalty u/s 114A and imposed a penalty u/s 112, which was beyond their jurisdiction.
