Issues: Whether customs duty, if any, arising out of the alleged incorrect extension of exemption under Notification No. 118/59-Cus. could be recovered from the respondent purchaser instead of the importer.
Analysis: The Tribunal found that Hindustan Shipyards Ltd. was the real importer of the vessels and that the respondent was only a purchaser. It held that, even assuming there had been a mistake in extending the exemption benefit, the department's remedy lay against the importer and not against the purchaser. On that basis, the Tribunal found no merit in the departmental challenge to the exemption claim.
Conclusion: The duty demand could not be fastened on the respondent purchaser, and the appeal failed.
