Issues Involved: The appeal challenges the rejection of a refund claim by the Commissioner (Appeals) based on the ground of Bills of Entry being provisionally assessed.
Issue 1: Rejection of Refund Claim The appellant imported engine components during a specific period and paid differential customs duty under protest due to a classification dispute. A refund claim was filed later, but it was kept in abeyance until a previous claim was resolved. The refund was ultimately rejected on the basis of the Bills of Entry being provisionally assessed. The appellate authority introduced a new ground for rejection not mentioned in the show cause notice, which is against the principles of natural justice. Citing relevant case laws, the Tribunal held that no new ground beyond the show cause notice can be raised. The impugned order was set aside, and the matter was remanded to the original authority for re-examination of the refund claim with all relevant original documents submitted by the appellant.
