HC declined to interfere with show cause notices regarding service tax exemption claims for Solid Waste Management services under Finance Act, 1994. Following precedent in Sapthagiri Cleaning Services case, court held that interpretation of work orders/contracts was necessary to determine applicability of exemption notification and non-chargeability of service tax. Citing VICCO Laboratories, HC emphasized writ interference at show cause stage only warranted in exceptional circumstances. Court set aside adjudication orders and remanded matters to post-show cause notice stage, allowing petitioners to file additional replies and raise exemption-related contentions. Question of whether service recipient (local authority) qualifies as registered business entity left open for authority's consideration upon remand.
