Summary:
Issue 1: Denial of duty drawback benefits due to missing bank realization statement The petitioner exported goods and claimed duty drawback benefits, which were denied by the respondents citing lack of submission of the relevant bank realization document. The petitioner argued that historically, the bank would manually provide the statement until 2000, but later it became the bank's responsibility to upload it online. The petitioner contended that the respondents had access to this information and should have verified the bank realization statement. The court noted that the bank had uploaded the statement on 02.09.2013, which the respondents failed to verify before denying the benefits. No show cause notice was issued, and the petitioner, whose company had closed in 2015, had no opportunity to explain. The court held that the petitioner was entitled to relief based on the bank realization statement submitted.
Decision: The impugned order dated 22.09.2020 was quashed, and the respondents were directed to issue a notice to the petitioner for a personal hearing. The petitioner was instructed to submit the bank realization statement, after which the respondents were to pass a new order within six weeks. The writ petition was allowed with no costs, and connected miscellaneous petitions were closed.
