Thereafter, proceedings were initiated under Section 74 for the same period. The petitioner challenged the Section 74 proceedings contending that, as the proper officer had not initiated any consequential proceedings after dropping the scrutiny under Section 61(3), no further notice under Section 74 could be issued for the same period. It was submitted that initiation of proceedings under Section 74 in such circumstances was impermissible under the statutory scheme.

It was observed that fraudulent activity may be detected subsequently, and the legislature has provided Section 74 to address such cases. The Court found that investigation in the present case had revealed fraudulent activities by the petitioner, making out a specific case of fraud, and that dropping proceedings under Section 61(3) was not an impediment to initiating proceedings under Section 74 for the same period, though it may be an impediment to proceedings under Section 73. The writ petition challenging the order-in-original under Section 74 was dismissed, reinforcing that post-scrutiny detection of fraud can validly trigger Section 74 proceedings.<\/span><\/span><span class=\"EOP SCXW48588174 BCX0\" data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:1,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:280}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>List Of Case Cited<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.centaxonline.com\/search?searchData=2015%20(322)%20E.L.T.%20165%20(S.C.)&amp;itemType=AP\">CCE Meerut-II v.
