Court rectifies dismissal of appeals by Customs Commissioner, emphasizes review petition not sole ground for dismissal.
The court intervened to rectify the dismissal of appeals by the Commissioner of Customs (Appeals) due to a pending review petition in the Supreme Court. The court emphasized that the mere filing of a review petition could not be a valid ground for dismissing the appeals. The order of dismissal was set aside and quashed, directing a reevaluation of the appeals and the issuance of an appropriate order in accordance with the law.
Issues: 1. Challenge to order of Commissioner of Customs (Appeals) by writ petition under Article 226. 2. Dismissal of appeals by Commissioner of Customs (Appeals) due to pending review petition in Supreme Court.
Analysis: 1. The judgment involves a challenge to an order passed by the Commissioner of Customs (Appeals) through a writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. The petitioner sought relief to avail the benefit under Notification No.01/2011-CE dated 1.3.2011, which was previously disposed of on 22.7.2015. The court directed the Assistant Commissioner of Customs to consider and dispose of the fresh representation filed by the petitioner within a specified time frame. However, this order was later modified on 14.9.2015, directing the Commissioner of Customs (Appeals), Patna, to dispose of the appeals within two months from the date of receipt of the order, considering the decision of the Supreme Court in a specific case.
2. The Commissioner of Customs (Appeals) dismissed the appeals in question on 23.11.2015 due to a pending review petition in the Supreme Court regarding a related case. The court found this dismissal to be misconceived, stating that the mere filing of a review petition could not be a valid ground for dismissing the appeals. The legal position on this matter was undisputed. Consequently, the court set aside and quashed the order of the Commissioner of Customs (Appeals) dated 23.11.2015, directing a reevaluation of the appeals and the issuance of an appropriate order in accordance with the law.
In conclusion, the judgment addresses the challenges faced by the petitioner in availing benefits under a specific notification and the subsequent dismissal of appeals by the Commissioner of Customs (Appeals) due to a pending review petition in the Supreme Court. The court intervened to rectify the dismissal, emphasizing that the mere filing of a review petition cannot be a valid reason to deny the appeals.
