Issues: Whether the assessee was entitled to waiver of pre-deposit and stay of recovery of the customs duty demand, having regard to the claim of exemption under Notification No. 21/2002-Cus. for goods imported for setting up a nuclear power project.
Analysis: The imported goods were required for a project import under CTH 9801 and were used for setting up an atomic power plant by a unit of the Nuclear Power Corporation of India Ltd. The record contained the requisite certificate showing such use. In the circumstances, denial of the exemption was found to be prima facie unjustified. Reference was also made to the treatment of similar imports under Notification No. 51/96-Cus. and the Board's clarification on such exemptions.
Conclusion: The demand was held to be prima facie unsustainable and the assessee was granted waiver of pre-deposit and stay of recovery of the duty amount.
