Union of India and others. -----Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR JUSTICE ADARSH KUMAR GOEL HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.N. MITTAL Present:- Mr. Jitender Dhanda, Advocate for the petitioner. ----- ORDER: This petition seeks quashing of letter dated 7.3.2008 (Annexure P-3), rejecting the claim of the petitioner for supply of certain documents. On information that the petitioner-firm was involved in clandestine removal of goods, officials of the Excise Department visited the factory premises of the petitioner and after investigation, show cause notice dated 20.12.2007 (Annexure P-1) was given, requiring the petitioner to show cause why the benefit of exemption period be not denied to the petitioner and value of goods cleared be not taken as transaction value after adding differential value and also why penalty be not imposed. The petitioner sought certain documents vide letter dated C.W.P. No.19270 of 2008 19.1.2008 (Annexure P-2), in reply to which, the stand of the respondents was that documents were not relied upon in the show cause notice and were not required to be supplied to the petitioner. Thereafter, the matter was at the stage of personal hearing and was fixed for 12.11.2008 and this petition has been filed on 10.11.2008. It is clear that the petitioner, though informed about the stand of the respondents on 7.3.2008, has moved this Court only two days before the personal hearing. In view of above, we do not find any ground to interfere, at this stage. The question whether the petitioner is prejudiced by non-supply of documents, can be gone into at appropriate stage, if necessary. The petition is disposed of.
