Court refuses direction for Tribunal order implementation, citing respondent's appeal rights under Customs Act. Implementation required if no appeal filed.
The court declined to issue a direction for the implementation of the Customs, Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal's order due to the respondent's statutory right to appeal under the Customs Act. The court disposed of the writ petition, stating that if the respondent does not file an appeal within the prescribed time, they must implement the Tribunal's order within one week after the limitation period expires. No costs were awarded in this case.
Issues: Implementation of Tribunal's order, Appeal remedy under Customs Act
In this case, the petitioner sought the implementation of an order passed by the Customs, Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal granting provisional release of cargo subject to new conditions. The respondent, represented by the learned Senior Standing Counsel, informed the court that the Revenue intended to file an appeal against the Tribunal's order, as per instructions from the Legal Wing of Chennai II Commissionerate. The court noted that the limitation period for filing an appeal is six months from the date of receipt of the Tribunal's order, which the Department received on 12.6.2018. Due to this, the court stated that it could not issue a direction to implement the Tribunal's order, as it cannot restrict a party's statutory appeal remedy under the Customs Act. The court concluded by disposing of the writ petition with an observation that if the respondent fails to file an appeal within the stipulated limitation period, the respondent must implement the Tribunal's order within one week after the expiry of the limitation period. No costs were awarded in this judgment.
