The HC dismissed the writ appeals and upheld the learned Single Judge's disposition allowing the writ petitions to the extent of relegating the petitioners to the post show-cause notice stage. The Court declined to adjudicate merits on liability or exemption under service tax, deeming such issues premature and fact-intensive, and found no jurisdictional error warranting interference with the show cause notices.
