Challenge to adjudication alleging fraudulent availment of ineligible CENVAT credit on the ground that relied-upon documents were not supplied was rejected because the noticee was fully aware of the show-cause notice yet neither filed any substantive reply nor effectively participated in adjudication, leaving the allegations unrebutted.
