The proper course is to raise objections before the competent authority and allow the statutory adjudicatory process to continue. Interference at the notice stage is not warranted when the assessee has an effective opportunity to contest the matter before the departmental authority. The challenge was therefore held not maintainable at that stage, and the petitioner was left to pursue objections before the excise authorities, who were to consider the matter and pass appropriate orders after hearing the assessee. en-us Mon, 30 Aug 1999 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 09 Jul 2010 17:32:04 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=45312 A writ petition challenging a mere show cause notice under central excise law is ordinarily premature where no final adjudication has been made.
