Customs' Application Dismissed, Release Order Upheld. Compliance Ordered.
The Tribunal dismissed the Department's ROM application seeking rectification of an order for release of impugned goods. The appellant's miscellaneous application for compliance with the release order was allowed, directing Customs to release the goods within a week under threat of contempt proceedings. The Tribunal found no errors in its initial order and emphasized Customs' inaction in verifying the goods' nature as drones requiring licensing.
Issues: Compliance of Tribunal's order for release of impugned goods, Rectification of Tribunal's order by Department.
Analysis: 1. The case involved two miscellaneous applications - one by the appellant seeking compliance of the Tribunal's order for release of impugned goods and another by the Department seeking rectification of the Tribunal's order dated 27-3-2019.
2.1. The appellant had filed an appeal against the Commissioner (Appeals)'s order and a miscellaneous application for release of impugned goods. The Tribunal allowed provisional release of goods but Customs did not comply. The Department filed a ROM application seeking rectification, citing mistakes in the Tribunal's order regarding DGCA guidelines and import restrictions.
2.2. The appellant responded, citing DGCA regulations and a clarification confirming no restrictions on model aircraft. Both sides were heard, with the appellant arguing mala fide intentions in the Department's ROM application.
3. After hearing both parties and reviewing the records, the Tribunal found no error in its order directing release of goods on payment of duty. Customs did not appeal or comply with the order, leading to the Department's belated ROM application.
4. The appellant argued the Department's ROM application was mala fide and harmful, highlighting lack of objections in previous imports. The Department cited a contrary order in a similar case.
6. The Tribunal found no error in its order, emphasizing Customs' lack of action to establish the goods as drones requiring licensing. It noted the appellant's compliance with regulations and lack of efforts by Customs to verify the goods' nature.
7. The Tribunal dismissed the Department's ROM application, allowed the appellant's application, and directed Customs to release the goods within a week or face contempt proceedings.
8. The Department's ROM application was dismissed, and the appellant's miscellaneous application was allowed.
