C.M.A(MD).No.400 of 2019

¶21

'Whether the Customs Excise Service Tax Appellate Tribunal (CESTAT) is correct in allowing the benefit of concessional rate of counter Veiling Duty (CVD) on the imports wherein the importers have failed to fulfil the conditions stipulated in the Notification No.4/2006-CE as amended and also when such imports by the importers are in contrary to the conditions stipulated in the Notification No.4/2006-CE as amended?'

¶22

It may not be necessary for us to adjudicate the correctness of the order of the Tribunal. In the light of the fact that the appeal filed by the revenue is hit by the instructions issued by the Central Board of Excise and Customs, in File No.390/Misc./163/2010-JC, dated 17.12.2015.

¶23

In the light of the above, the Civil Miscellaneous Appeal filed by the revenue is dismissed on the ground of low tax effect. Consequently, the substantial question of law is left open.

¶24

In the event, the appellant revenue is of the opinion that the case will not fall within the instructions given by the Central Board, liberty is granted to the appellant to seek for restoration of this appeal. Consequently, connected Miscellaneous Petition is closed.
