For technical breach no penalty should be imposed. pl. see judgment of the Supreme Court held in the case of Hindustan Steel Vs. State of Orissa in 1978

i see that your query has been answered. But I would like to inform you that for technical lapse the dept can and should impose penalty upon your firm, notwithstanding the Supreme Court Judgement. I suggest you reply to the show cause notice and seek personal hearing and at the time of hearing place your difficulties on record. In that way dept may take a lenient view.
