The HC held that the respondent authority lacked jurisdiction to issue the impugned show-cause notice (SCN) by invoking the extended limitation period under Section 28(1) of the Act, as there was no allegation of collusion, willful mis-statement, or suppression of facts.

Subsequent developments and the pendency of related proceedings further undermined the SCN's validity. Consequently, the HC quashed and set aside the SCN dated 27.8.2002 against the petitioners, allowing the appeal.
