Issues: Challenge to Impugned Order-in-Original TUT-CUSTM-PRV-COM-02/2022 dated 31.03.2022. Compliance with court order regarding reclaiming export goods.

Analysis: The petitioner challenged the Impugned Order-in-Original TUT-CUSTM-PRV-COM-02/2022 passed by the first respondent. The impugned show cause notice preceded the Order in Original, calling for justification on proposed exports under duty drawback scheme and potential penalties. A previous court order allowed the petitioner to reclaim export goods without the need for a bank guarantee due to canceled export orders. Despite this, the respondents failed to comply, leading the petitioner to file a contempt petition. The respondents were directed to report compliance but failed to do so, resulting in the imposition of penalties and cargo confiscation by the Commissioner. The petitioner sought to quash this order.
