<h1>Appeal Dismissed, Penalties Reduced, Precedent Applied.</h1> The Tribunal dismissed the appeals filed by the assessee and Revenue, reducing the penalties imposed on both parties due to the duty involved. The ... Penalty - Quantum of Issues:Appeal against enhancement of penalty amount by Revenue, appeal by assessee against penalty amount, failure to dispose of appeals due to department's mistake, reduction of penalty based on duty involved, applicability of Larger Bench's decision on penalty quantum, dismissal of appeals by Department.Analysis:The judgment involves two appeals, one by the Revenue against the enhancement of penalty amount and the other by the assessee against the penalty imposed. The Tribunal dismissed the appeals filed by the assessee, reducing the penalties imposed on both appellants due to the duty involved. However, the Department failed to point out the pendency of these appeals, leading to their undisposed status. The reduction in penalty for the assessee was considered fair, and the Tribunal found no other issue except the quantum of penalty. The Tribunal held that the principle from the Standard Tarpulin case could not be applied in the present scenario, affirming the legality and reasonableness of the decision in the assessee's appeals.The judgment further notes that since a decision had already been made by a Member regarding the penalty in the same case, there was no reason to differ and allow the Department's appeal. Consequently, the Department's appeals were deemed infructuous and redundant, leading to their dismissal. The judgment concludes by pronouncing the dismissal of both appeals by the Department, based on the previous decision made in the case.In summary, the judgment addresses the appeals regarding the penalty amount, highlighting the reduction in penalties for the assessee based on the duty involved, the failure to dispose of appeals due to the Department's oversight, the inapplicability of a previous decision on penalty quantum, and the dismissal of the Department's appeals due to a prior decision on the same issue.
