This issue potentially impacts the rate of duty of customs for the purpose of assessment.3.

The Court acknowledged the need to hear both the Revenue and the respondent on the issue of jurisdiction to entertain appeals related to the grant of exemption notifications, emphasizing the importance of interpreting Sections 130 and 130E of the Customs Act, 1962 appropriately.6. Despite initial concerns regarding the nature of the issue, the Court decided to defer a final decision on its jurisdiction, opting to hear arguments from both parties before making a determination. The appellant was directed to serve a copy of the order to the respondent for further proceedings.7. The Court, at the appellant's request, adjourned the appeal to 1st July 2019 to allow for adequate preparation and presentation of arguments before reaching a final decision on the matter.
