The High Court addressed a case involving a violation of natural justice principles due to the rejection of the petitioner's request for cross-examination in a matter concerning the classification of unflavoured and APL supari in relevant bills of entry. The court noted that the denial of cross-examination lacked a valid reason and referred to a Supreme Court ruling emphasizing the importance of cross-examination when witness statements are foundational to the order. The High Court allowed the petitioner to file a statutory appeal within ten days to be heard on merits without limitation issues, as the order in question was subject to appeal.
