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. In certain matters the Court set aside impugned orders-in-original and restored proceedings to the stage of post show-cause notice, granting petitioners liberty to file reply and additional reply as appropriate. The appeals are rejected and the administrative adjudicatory process is remitted for fresh consideration.
