Judgment
N.K. Jain, J.—They are heard.
This petition is directed against show cause notice issued u/s 11A of the Central Excises and Salt Act, 1944.
This Court has consistently held that resort to writ jurisdiction at the stage of show cause notice is not permissible. Reference can be made to the decisions in the case of Grasim Industries Ltd. Vs. Collector of Customs and C. Ex., , Methodex Systems Pvt. Ltd. (M.P. No. 650/1986) decided on 11.9.1996 1997 ECR 280 (MP) and Kinetic Honda Motors Ltd. v. Union of India (MP) (No. 1823/1991) decided on 22.4.1997 1997 ECR 1 (MP).
I thus decline admission, leaving the petitioners free to raise all the contentions raised herein before the respondent No. 2. In the event of adverse orders, petitioners will be free to resort to such remedy as may be available to them in law.
