Issues: Whether refund of duty under Rule 173L was admissible when the goods were returned to the factory more than one year after the original payment of duty.
Analysis: Rule 173L required the goods to be returned within one year from the date of payment of duty. The duty on the goods had been paid on 31-10-1996, while the return under Rule 173L took place only in 1998. The return was therefore beyond the prescribed one-year period, and the rule did not permit a different interpretation on these facts.
Conclusion: Refund under Rule 173L was not admissible. The claim failed and the assessee was not entitled to the refund.
