Tribunal Orders Release of Imported Goods, Directs Decision on Relief Claimed Within One Month
The Tribunal allowed the appeal, ordering the release of imported goods without redemption fine and penalty. However, ground rent detention charges were demanded. The Court directed respondent No.2 to decide on the relief claimed within one month, emphasizing compliance with the law and affording the petitioner an opportunity to be heard.
Issues: Petition for quashing an order regarding imported goods and waiver of charges.
Analysis: The petitioner, engaged in the import and trading of Steel Scrap, sought a writ petition under Articles 226/227 of the Constitution of India to quash an order dated 20.10.2017 and requested the release of an imported consignment of Re-Rollable Steel Scrap along with waiving demurrage/detention charges. The petitioner had declared and paid customs duty amounting to ` 7,81,399 at the time of filing the Bill of Entry. The goods were inspected, and it was found that they contained heavy metals within the prescribed limit as per Hazardous Waste Management rules. A series of letters and appeals were filed by the petitioner against the confiscation of goods and imposition of fines and penalties. Eventually, the Tribunal allowed the appeal and ordered the release of goods without any redemption fine and penalty. Subsequently, the goods were permitted out of charge without any levy of redemption fine and penalty, but ground rent detention charges were demanded. The petitioner requested for detention certificate to take delivery of goods, but faced delays and issues from the respondents.
The petitioner's counsel argued that despite sending letters and requests, no action had been taken by respondent No.2 on the relief claimed in the writ petition. After hearing the petitioner's counsel, the Court disposed of the petition by directing respondent No.2 to make a decision on the letter dated 22.4.2018 within one month from the receipt of the order, after affording an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner. The Court refrained from expressing any opinion on the merits of the case but emphasized the need for a decision by respondent No.2 in accordance with the law.
