Analysis: The judgment deals with the application under Rule 41 of CESTAT (Procedure) Rules, 1982 seeking implementation of a final order dated 18.12.2013 against the order of the Commissioner of Customs (Export). The Tribunal held that the appellant and CHA had fulfilled all formalities, and as the goods were handed over to the shipping agent, they could not be penalized.

However, despite repeated requests and letters, the applicant did not receive the EP copy of shipping bills as per the Tribunal's order, due to a subjudice appeal before the High Court. The matter was brought before the Tribunal through a miscellaneous application filed on 9.1.2015, with subsequent delays in reporting the compliance status and lack of information in the Commissioner's letter regarding the appeal filed by the Revenue.
The Tribunal directed the concerned Commissioner of Customs (Export) to implement the Tribunal's order within three weeks and submit a status report on compliance. In case of difficulties, the Commissioner was required to file a status report within three weeks outlining the time frame for implementation. The applicant was instructed to appear before the Commissioner with a copy of the order for seeking compliance, with a compliance report due on 25.5.2015. Additionally, the Registry was directed to serve a copy of the order to the Chief Commissioner of Customs, Mumbai Zone -II, JNCH, Nhava Sheva, and provide a copy of the order to the parties.
