In view of that concession the Court found it unnecessary to consider other contestations and declined to disturb the concurrent findings of the lower authorities which treated the respondents as auctioneers rather than clearing and forwarding agents. The concession by the Central Government's counsel was treated as determinative and dispositive of the challenge to the tribunal's order. [Paras 3, 5]Appeals dismissed; classification as clearing and forwarding agents rejected and no interference with the impugned orders.Final Conclusion: The appeals are dismissed by the High Court on the basis of the concession that the respondents are auctioneers and cannot be categorized as clearing and forwarding agents; no further examination was undertaken. The High Court of Kerala rejected appeals filed by the Central Government against orders of the Customs, Excise & Service Tax Appellate Tribunal. The Tribunal upheld that the respondents, engaged in cardamom auction business, are not 'clearing and forwarding agents.' The Assistant Solicitor General conceded this point, leading to the rejection of the appeals.
