Metenere Ltd. v. Kandla
Case brief
What is this about?
The customs appellate tribunal allowed appeals against enhanced duty valuations for aluminum scrap. The court held that the lack of a speaking order, absence of contemporaneous price data, and reliance on internal guidelines without strict adherence to valuation rules necessitated remand.
What did the court decide?
Appeals allowed by way of remand to the assessing officer to consider representations and pass a detailed speaking order.
