It deemed the extension order for issuing show cause notices as administrative, not requiring prior notice to the party. Show cause notices issued after the extended period were deemed valid due to an injunction obtained by the petitioner. The court ruled that the Customs Officer's extension order did not require a judicial or quasi-judicial approach.
