Issues: Whether the importer was liable to pay special additional duty of customs despite clearance of the goods under Notification No. 34/97 and the corresponding exemption under Notification No. 34/98.
Analysis: Notification No. 34/97 granted exemption only from basic and additional customs duty, and its debit condition related only to the duty exempted under that notification. Special additional duty was outside its scope. Notification No. 34/98 separately exempted special additional duty for goods imported in terms of Notification No. 34/97, subject to the conditions of that notification. As the required debit under Notification No. 34/97 did not include special additional duty, failure to debit that component in the pass book did not amount to breach of the exemption condition.
Conclusion: The importer was entitled to exemption from special additional duty, and the demand was unsustainable.
Final Conclusion: The appeal succeeded and the order confirming the demand was set aside.
Ratio Decidendi: Where an exemption notification covers only specified customs duties, the debit condition attached to it cannot be extended to a duty not within its scope; a separate exemption for that other duty must be applied according to its own terms.
