Issues: Whether customs duty and penalty could be sustained against the appellant on the finding that duty-free imported polyester filament yarn was clandestinely removed and supplied to other concerns, and whether the confiscation and consequential recovery were legally valid.
Analysis: The appellant, a 100% export oriented undertaking, had imported PFY without duty under the applicable notification for use in export manufacture. The material on record, including statements of the director and other persons, supported the finding that the imported goods were diverted in the local market through brokers and buyers, that sale proceeds were received in cash, and that the seized yarn found at the premises of the other concerns was the same imported yarn originally brought in by the appellant. The concurrent factual findings of the adjudicating authority and the Tribunal were not shown to be perverse or unsupported by the record. The Court declined to reappreciate those findings in appeal and held that the duty demand and penalty followed from the established clandestine diversion and contravention of the customs regime governing the imported goods.
Conclusion: The duty demand and penalty against the appellant were upheld.
Ratio Decidendi: Where concurrent findings establish that duty-free imported goods were clandestinely diverted in violation of the conditions of import and the statutory scheme, customs duty recoverability and penalty can be sustained against the importer.
