High Court overturns provisional assessment order for glass bead export, opts for Section 110A resolution
The High Court set aside the order for provisional assessment of glass beads meant for export, noting that the provisional release was superseded by a seizure order. The Revenue proposed addressing the petitioner's concerns for provisional release under Section 110A after investigations. The court accepted the proposal, ensuring a hearing for the petitioner's request while safeguarding Revenue's interests. The petitioner's counsel agreed to attend the hearing without conditions, and the Revenue committed to issuing the provisional release order within three weeks. Consequently, the petition was disposed of in line with these agreements.
Issues: Challenge to communication for provisional release of export shipment and seizure memo for glass beads meant for export under the Customs Act, 1962.
Analysis: The petitioner challenged a communication dated 4th December, 2018, allowing the provisional release of glass beads meant for export and a seizure memo dated 15th April, 2019, under the Customs Act, 1962. The petitioner argued that the delay in assessing the goods could lead to the cancellation of export shipments. The High Court noted that the provisional release was made under Section 18 and not necessarily after a seizure under Section 110. The court found the order dated 4th December, 2018, allowing provisional assessment, was superseded by the seizure order dated 15th April, 2019. Consequently, the court set aside the order for provisional assessment.
The Revenue informed the court that investigations were ongoing, making it challenging to expedite the issuance of a show-cause notice. The Revenue proposed that the Adjudicating Authority would consider the petitioner's request for provisional release under Section 110A after hearing the petitioner. The court accepted this submission, ensuring the petitioner's concerns were addressed while protecting the Revenue's interests.
The petitioner's counsel agreed to attend the hearing for provisional release under Section 110A without any conditions. The Revenue assured that the order for provisional release would be passed within three weeks from the date of the court hearing. Based on these submissions, the petition was disposed of accordingly.
