Rule 26 of the Central Excise Rules, 2002 applies to a body corporate because the term "person" is not confined to natural persons; the Tribunal relied on the General Clauses Act and broader statutory context to reject the argument that a company cannot be penalised.

On the facts already concluded in the common adjudication order, the Tribunal upheld the penalty and dismissed the appeal.
