M/S Emirates Gold International vs. Additional Commissioner
Held
The Court directed the respondents to supply the demanded documents within three days. The petitioner was granted ten days thereafter to file a reply to the show cause notice, failing which the adjudicating authority could proceed to finalize the order.
Facts

Key Issues
The key legal issue was whether the petitioner was entitled to receive specific documents from the department to enable them to file an effective reply to a show cause notice.
