Portal-only notice uploads without separate intimation breach natural justice, requiring time-barred statutory appeals to be heard on merits.
Uploading a show-cause notice and adjudication order only under the portal's 'Additional Notice and Orders' tab, without separate intimation, prevented the petitioner from responding to the proceedings and breached principles of natural justice. Dismissal of the statutory appeal solely as time-barred, without considering the merits in these circumstances, was unsustainable. The limitation-based appellate order was quashed, and the appeal was to be admitted and decided afresh on merits after providing an opportunity of hearing.

Proportionate penalty under foreign exchange law requires reasoned discretion; an unexplained unchanged quantum was reduced.
Penalty under Section 50 of the Foreign Exchange Regulation Act, 1973 is subject to a maximum limit but must be fixed through reasonable, judicial and reasoned discretion proportionate to the contravention. Retaining the original penalty after excluding two remittance forms already adjudicated and recognising RBI write-off of another, without explaining the unchanged quantum, failed that standard. The penalty for non-realisation of export proceeds was therefore set aside as unreasoned and disproportionate and replaced with a lower penalty.

Mistake-of-law tax refunds attract interest from original claims, while implementation directions remain outside appellate review.
Service tax paid by mistake of law on potable-water pipeline work for a public-welfare project lacks the character of duty, so restrictive refund limitations do not govern restitution. Interest under Section 11BB accrues automatically three months after the original refund application; later implementation documents do not create a fresh claim. Rule 41 permits procedural directions needed to implement a final Tribunal order, and such directions are not appealable under Section 35G. Where money was withheld after a mistaken payment rather than a duty refund, the statutory notified rate need not cap compensatory interest, supporting interest at 9% for prolonged withholding.

Winding-up proceedings require liquidator participation before pending appeals can be decided; ex parte appellate orders require fresh adjudication.
Section 279 of the Companies Act, 2013 requires leave of the Tribunal to continue legal proceedings by or against a company in winding up, including proceedings pending when the winding-up order is made. The liquidator assumes responsibility for the company's position in such proceedings and must receive an effective opportunity to pursue pending appeals. Ex parte appellate orders made after winding up without notice to, or a hearing of, the liquidator cannot be sustained. The appeals were remitted for fresh adjudication after notice and personal hearing to the liquidator.

Independent Merits Review Requires Appellate Authority to Disregard Prior Judicial Observations in Customs Proceedings Entirely
Appellate Authority must decide the customs dispute independently on its own merits and without being influenced by prior judicial observations. The impugned order remained undisturbed, while the special leave petition was disposed of subject to that clarification. Pending interlocutory applications were also disposed of. This preserves an uninfluenced merits determination at the appellate stage despite non-interference with the impugned order.
AI TextQuick Glance (AI)Headnote
Customs adjudication limitation runs from cessation of a statutory impediment, leaving merits for the prescribed appellate process.
Section 28(9A)(b) treats a pending proceeding and operative interim protection that prevent customs determination as an enumerated circumstance, causing the Section 28(9) period to run from cessation of that circumstance. A Call Book transfer is consequential only, and an administrative circular cannot override this statutory timing rule. Where noticees request deferment pending related proceedings, know why determination is postponed, and fail to report cessation, communication requirements may be substantially fulfilled. Availability of an effective statutory appeal and the bar on approbation and reprobation weigh against discretionary writ relief; substantive duty-demand issues remain available in the appellate process.
AI TextQuick Glance (AI)Headnote
Written acceptance of enhanced customs value waives a speaking order only, preserving challenges to reassessment and transaction-value rejection.
Written acceptance of enhanced customs valuation under Section 17(5) dispenses only with the requirement for a speaking reassessment order; it does not waive the importer's statutory right to appeal or challenge rejection of the declared transaction value. Rejection requires compliance with Section 14 and Rule 12(2), including written grounds for doubting the declared value. General consent letters referring to contemporaneous imports, without comparable data on quantity, quality and timing, do not prove voluntary abandonment of valuation rights. Statutory appeal rights cannot be defeated by acquiescence, making reassessment and appellate rejection founded solely on written acceptance unsustainable.

Summons before arrest warrants: transferred complaints require accused already on bail to receive an initial opportunity to appear.
Accused persons already on bail must ordinarily receive summons to appear before a transferee Special Court before coercive process is used. Transfer of a complaint to the Special Court does not by itself justify immediate issuance of an arrest warrant where the accused have had no opportunity to appear before that court. Lawful coercive measures may be adopted only subsequently, if necessary to secure attendance. An arrest warrant issued without prior service of summons in these circumstances is illegal and liable to be set aside.
AI TextQuick Glance (AI)Headnote
Continuing default and liability acknowledgment preserve Section 7 insolvency claims despite failed revival schemes and pending winding-up proceedings.
Continuing failure by a corporate debtor to deliver possession or refund amounts may constitute a subsisting default for limitation purposes under a financial creditor's Section 7 insolvency application. Where a revival scheme acknowledges the creditor's claim, that acknowledgment supports extension of limitation despite the three-year period ordinarily applicable from default. An unworkable revival scheme that has been set aside, and pending winding-up proceedings, do not independently bar Section 7 proceedings; insolvency resolution may continue where debt and default are established.
AI TextQuick Glance (AI)Headnote
Prolonged custody can justify bail despite PMLA twin conditions, with safeguards protecting trial and witnesses.
Prolonged custody exceeding one year may, in an appropriate money-laundering prosecution, outweigh the statutory twin conditions governing bail. Serious allegations of impersonation, forgery and extortion, and material insufficient to satisfy the usual bail restrictions, do not preclude consideration of mitigating factors. Bail in the predicate-offence proceedings, pending investigation, and reliance on material that may fall outside the predicate offence can support release. Any grant of bail should include safeguards to secure attendance, protect witnesses and preserve the progressing trial.

Extended limitation requires proven intent to evade; bona fide misunderstanding shields governmental lessors from time-barred service-tax demands and penalties.
Extended limitation and penalties require evidence of conscious, deliberate suppression or misstatement intended to evade service tax. A governmental lessor's bona fide understanding of taxability, without positive evidence of mala fide intent, does not justify extended-period demands or penal action; related extended-period demands and penalties are consequently unsustainable. Vacant land was excluded from taxable renting of immovable property before 1 July 2010, but leasing or licensing vacant land for construction of business or commercial structures became taxable thereafter. A one-time lease premium or salami constitutes consideration for leasing immovable property and forms part of the taxable value, unlike recurring rent only.

Cum-tax treatment requires tax recomputation where service tax was not separately recovered, while contractual values support best-judgment assessment.
Cum-tax treatment applies where service tax was unpaid and no evidence shows that it was separately recovered from service recipients. Consideration for taxable services must then be treated as inclusive of tax, requiring recomputation of tax liability, interest and mandatory penalty on a cum-tax basis. For 2017-18, contractual amounts may form the basis of a best-judgment service-tax determination where the assessee has not furnished income-tax returns, balance sheets or alternative figures showing services rendered and consideration received. That contractual-value basis remains valid, but the resulting liability must be recalculated after extending cum-tax benefit.

NSDC training-partner exemption denied without direct approval, while recognised distance-learning degree education remains exempt and extended limitation fails.
NSDC-approved training-partner exemption under paragraph 9A(iv) requires the service provider itself to be an NSDC-approved training partner providing services in relation to specified programmes; an authorised learning centre serving such a partner, without direct NSDC approval or tripartite authorisation, does not qualify. Education forming part of a university degree curriculum leading to a legally recognised qualification remains exempt under Section 66D(l)(ii) even when delivered through distance learning by a non-university provider. Extended limitation requires fraud, wilful misstatement, or suppression with intent to evade; absent these elements, only non-exempt skill-development services within the normal limitation period remain taxable.

Refund interest begins after the original claim's statutory waiting period, not a later appellate order or reminder.
Statutory interest on a service-tax refund accrues under Section 11BB of the Central Excise Act, as applied through Section 83 of the Finance Act, 1994, when the refundable amount remains unpaid for three months after receipt of the original Section 11B refund application. The deeming provision for refunds granted through an appellate or court order does not defer the start of interest. A later communication that merely continues or reminds the authorities of the original claim is not a fresh refund application. Interest was therefore payable from expiry of three months after the original application until actual refund.

Proceedings against a non-existent merged entity remain void, and CGST recovery provisions cannot validate them.
GST proceedings commenced against an amalgamating company after its merger are void from inception because the entity no longer exists. Section 87 of the CGST Act does not authorise proceedings against a non-existent entity or cure the resulting jurisdictional defect. The GST order was set aside on that basis, and the Supreme Court declined to interfere by dismissing the special leave petition.
AI TextQuick Glance (AI)Headnote
Pre-deposit rules follow the show-cause notice date, while disputed proper-officer objections belong before statutory appellate review.
Pre-deposit requirements for statutory tax appeals are governed by the regime in force when adjudicatory proceedings commence, namely the date of the show-cause notice; a later substituted requirement does not apply to earlier notices. Challenges to an officer's authority require assessment under function-specific proper-officer provisions, delegated powers and rank-based notifications. Where those instruments do not reveal a patent jurisdictional defect, and challenges involve disputed evidence, natural justice, party roles, quantification or penalties, the statutory appellate remedy remains the appropriate forum.

Section 12A withdrawal formalities may be impracticable where settled creditor claims and unresolved CIRP costs create procedural stalemate.
Section 12A of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, read with Regulation 30A, ordinarily requires an initiating applicant to seek CIRP withdrawal in Form FA, with prescribed creditor approval and security for CIRP costs. Where creditor claims have been settled or agreed to be settled, but CIRP costs remain uncrystallised and the required bank guarantee cannot be furnished, those formalities may create a procedural stalemate. In exceptional circumstances, continuation of CIRP may be unwarranted where no resolution plan is available and the Resolution Professional's entitlement to CIRP costs remains protected through pending adjudication and a binding undertaking to pay the determined costs.

Personal insolvency applications abusing interim moratorium to obstruct security enforcement rather than genuine repayment resolution warrant rejection.
Section 94 permits a personal guarantor in default to initiate a personal insolvency resolution process and propose a repayment plan, while Section 96 grants an interim moratorium. These provisions require a genuine effort to resolve insolvency and cannot be used to obstruct a financial creditor's lawful security enforcement. Withdrawal of an earlier application after enjoying the interim moratorium, followed by a fresh application immediately after issuance of a possession notice, without any intervening repayment effort, demonstrated an intent to stall recovery proceedings. The personal guarantor's application was therefore rejected as an abuse of the insolvency process and interim moratorium.

Service-tax demands based solely on accounting discrepancies fail without proof of taxable services or deliberate suppression.
Service-tax demands require identification and classification of the taxable service and determination of its taxable value under the Finance Act, 1994. Discrepancies between financial statements, income-tax records and ST-3 returns cannot alone establish taxable consideration without verification against agreements, invoices, work orders and contemporaneous records. Extended limitation requires proof of fraud, collusion, wilful misstatement, suppression, or contravention intended to evade tax; disclosed records and return-filing discrepancies do not by themselves prove suppression. Only separately identifiable admitted tax liability remains subject to statutory interest, while unsubstantiated demands and suppression-based penalties fail.

Bail in customs-duty evasion investigation granted subject to cooperation, passport surrender, attendance, and overseas travel restrictions.
Bail pending investigation into alleged evasion of customs and anti-dumping duty through invalid certificates of origin was granted subject to conditions. The investigation was principally documentary, relevant records had been seized, and later supplier communications and revised origin documents could be verified while requiring the applicant's attendance. The risk of independent evidence tampering was not supported, particularly as another person connected with the import work was in custody. Bail required execution of a bond, cooperation with the investigation, attendance when called, passport surrender, and restrictions on foreign travel.
