Exemption order stay refused for imported printer mechanism after Tribunal followed its earlier arguable-issue view.

Stay of the operation of an exemption order under Notification No. 17/2001-Cus. for imported printer mechanism was refused because the Tribunal relied on its earlier stay order on the same issue. The dispute had already been treated as arguable, and that prior view left no basis for granting a fresh stay. The present stay request was therefore rejected.
