of <h1>Customs Commissioner to Follow High Court's Directive in Adjudication</h1> <h3>ABDULLA GHANI Versus COMMISSIONER OF CUSTOMS, MUMBAI</h3> ABDULLA GHANI Versus COMMISSIONER OF CUSTOMS, MUMBAI - 2008 (224) E.L.T. 300 (Tri. - Mumbai) Issues:Clarification on which adjudicating authority shall handle de novo adjudication proceedings.Analysis:The applicant sought clarification on which adjudicating authority should handle the de novo adjudication proceedings. The Tribunal had remanded the matter back to the adjudicating authority in a previous order, emphasizing the principles of natural justice. The High Court had directed the lower authorities to complete the proceedings within a specified timeframe. The Commissioner of Customs had issued corrigendums directing the applicants to appear before different authorities. The Tribunal noted that the matter needed to be settled by an adjudicating authority and found the issuance of a corrigendum directing the applicants to a different authority puzzling. The Tribunal concluded that the adjudication by the Commissioner of Customs would be appropriate given the circumstances. Since the Commissioner had already initiated proceedings and declined a request for cross-examination, the Tribunal directed the Commissioner to conduct the adjudication proceedings as per the High Court's direction.This comprehensive analysis of the judgment addresses the issues involved, the background of the case, the Tribunal's observations, the High Court's directive, the actions of the Commissioner of Customs, and the Tribunal's final decision on the appropriate adjudicating authority for the de novo proceedings.
