Maintainability of appeal before the Tribunal under Section 129A of the Customs Act, 1962 in respect of matters decided under the CHALR, 2004.Analysis:Issue 1: Maintainability of appeal before the Tribunal under Section 129A of the Customs Act, 1962 in respect of matters decided under the CHALR, 2004:The Tribunal addressed the preliminary issue of whether the appeal filed by Revenue is maintainable under Section 129A of the Customs Act, 1962 concerning matters decided under the CHALR, 2004. The Tribunal referred to a previous decision in the case of Commissioner of Customs (General), Mumbai Vs. Mukadam Freight Systems Pvt. Ltd. where it was held that the right to appeal under Section 129A against an order passed under CHALR, 2004 is only available to the Customs House Agent (CHA), and Revenue cannot challenge the maintainability of the order under such Regulations. Therefore, based on the settled legal position, the Tribunal found no merit in the appeal filed by Revenue and dismissed it as not maintainable.In conclusion, the judgment focused on the issue of maintainability of the appeal before the Tribunal under Section 129A of the Customs Act, 1962 in relation to matters decided under the CHALR, 2004. The Tribunal relied on precedent to establish that the right to appeal under Section 129A is exclusive to the CHA, and Revenue cannot contest the maintainability of orders under CHALR, 2004. Consequently, the Tribunal dismissed the appeal filed by Revenue on this ground.
