the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs would

notice issued to the importer, calling upon the petitioner
to show cause as to why the vehicle should not be
confiscated. Therefore, the show-cause notice was not
only not issued to the petitioner within six months but
also within the extended period of six months.'
