1. The appellants are aggrieved by the demand for differential Central Excise dutv amounting; to Rs. 3,50,276/-. This demand pertains to the period from 1-4-1977 to 30-6-1978. It was issued on 28-11-1978. Thus, leaving the period of about one month, the demand for the rest of the period is time barred. The appellants have produced a copy of the show cause notice. We do not find the proviso to Rule 10 allowing the extended period of 5 years, having been invoked in the show cause notice. In the circumstances, the demand has to be confined only to a period of six months preceding the issue of the show causse notice. The plea of time bar has been raised by the appellants for the first time before us. But we are inclined to consider this plea in the interests of justice.2. Coming to the merits of the appeal, we find from the record that the 12 distributors of the appellants' have been treated by the department as 'related person' and assessment has been ordered to be done on the basis of t...
