Full Judgment
2. When the matter was called, no one was present on behalf of the Respondents, nor was there any request for adjournment. As the issue involved is in a very narrow compass, we take up the appeal for disposal after hearing Ms. Charul Baranwal, learned SDR and after perusal of the records. On a query from the Bench, learned SDR intimated that the provisions of Section 11AB of the Central Excise Act for imposing interest were not mentioned in the show cause notice dated 19-1-1998. As the provisions of the said section were not invoked in the show cause notice, the question of imposing interest under Section 11AB of the Act does not arise. Accordingly, there is no merit in the appeal filed by the Revenue which is rejected.
