Extended limitation period cannot be invoked where there is no proof of suppression or malafide: contemporaneous documentary records and communications from SEZ/FTWZ authorities negated concealment and showed accepted administrative practice, so absence of an undertaking did not amount to deliberate misdeclaration.
