Rule. Heard forthwith. . For the order to be passed, it is not necessary to set out facts in detail. . It was the contention of the Petitioners that neither show cause noticess nor the impugned order was served on them. . In the reply filed on behalf of the respondents, in so far as show cause notices are concerned, they have averred that attempts were made to serve Petitioners at the address mentioned in the DEEC licence. The Petitioner averred that they had informed the Director General of Foreign Trade by their communication dated 4.7.1996 that they had shifted from their old address of the factory premises from Velachary Road, East Tabaram, Madras 59 to Wipro Limited, L20/1, Vallanchery Village, Guduvancheri Post, Chengalpattu Dist. The show cause notices are dated 13.9.1997 and 5.9.1998. In so far as service of the order is concerned, there is no denial to the averment. . In the light of the above,in our opinion, the order suffers from violation of principles of natural justice and fair play. We consequently set aside the orders both dated 31.12.1998 as also show cause notices and direct the respondents herein to serve fresh show cause notices on the Petitioners at the address of the Petitioners shown in the cause title for all purposes till the conclusion of the proceedings. . In our opinion, it will not be open to the respondents to raise the plea of limitation considering that the Petitioners themselves has come to the court after such long time and the date of service of fresh show cause notices will be the period for commencing the period of limitation. . Rule made absolute accordingly. No order as to costs. (R.S. MOHITE, J.) (R.S. MOHITE, J.) (R.S. MOHITE, J.) (F.I.REBELLO, J.) (F.I.REBELLO, J.) (F.I.REBELLO, J.)
