HC determined the show-cause notice and Order-in-Original under Finance Act, 1994 were invalid due to improper service procedures under Section 37C of Central Excise Act, 1944. Despite attempts at service via speed post, the notices were undelivered due to changed business address. The authority failed to properly execute alternative service methods through premises affixation or notice board posting as required by statute. Additionally, the petitioner was found not liable for service tax on export services. The court quashed both the show-cause notice and Order-in-Original, ruling the respondent authority lacked jurisdiction to issue orders based on improperly served notices and misapplied tax liability principles. Petition allowed with remand.
