Maintainability of a demand under Section 28 for imported recycled LDPE granules was challenged on procedural grounds: the adjudicating authority cited relied upon documents (RUDs) in the show cause notice but did not furnish them to the importer, undermining procedural fairness and the provisional assessment.
