The learned counsel for the appellant states that the Delhi High Court had left the question of jurisdiction open vide its order dated 10.09.2015 as per para-8 of the said order.

The counsel for the respondent agrees to the same.

¶9

In the light of the judgment of the Bombay High Court in the case of Premier Industry vs. Union of India in Writ Petition no. 1567 and 2780 of 2005 decided on 13.07.2006, such appeals are to be heard by the Special Director (Appeal) and the appeal does not lie with the Appellate Tribunal.

¶10

The appeal is therefore dismissed on grounds of jurisdiction with liberty to the appellant to file it before the Special Director (Appeals), Enforcement Directorate. In case they choose to do so, the issue of limitation will not arise as the appeal has been filed in Tribunal on time.

¶11

No one appears on behalf of appellant in FPA-FE-1288/DLI/2004 i.e M/s. Jain Sudh Vanaspati & Ors. Hence the appeal is dismissed for nonprosecution.
