Recovery of drawback benefit availed along with applicable interest and penalty was demanded through a notice issued against a deceased exporter. The issuance of notice to a deceased person is invalid as it suffers from a fundamental jurisdictional error. The requirement of issuing notice to the right person is a condition precedent for valid proceedings.
