Nedumpara with Ms. J.J. Ostwal for the petitioner. Mr. J.S. Saluja, Assistant Government Pleader for the State. Mr. Y.R. Mishra with Mr. V.B. Tiwari for the Union of India. CORAM: SWATANTER KUMAR, C.J. & S.C. DHARMADHIKARI, J. DATE : 6TH JULY, 2009 P.C.: By order dated 8th May, 2009, the petitioner was permitted to amend the petition. The amendments have been carried out and the petitioner wishes to challenge the order dated 16th February, 2001, Exhibit `D' to the writ petition. This is an order of adjudication passed under section 15 of the Foreign Trade (Development & Regulation) Act, 1992 against which appeal lies. 2. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that this order is a nulity in law, being violative of principles of natural justice as no copy thereof or no show-cause notice has been served on the petitioner and the order itself is unexecutable having been passed against the company and not against the individual. 3. These averments are not admitted by the respondents. According to them, the petitioner was served with the notice as well as copy thereof. Be that as it may, we do not propose to go into the disputed question of facts in the present petition particularly when demand notice is issued and the petitioner is at liberty to take recourse to alternative statutory remedy. However, for a period of four weeks from today, the notice will not be given effect to. 4. With the above directions, writ petition is dismissed. Parties to act on the authenticated copy of this order. CHIEF JUSTICE S.C. DHARMADHIKARI, J.
