Issues: Whether redemption fine and personal penalty were sustainable in respect of import of J3 grade cold rolled stainless steel coils when the Technical Committee had clarified that the grade was outside the purview of the relevant quality control order.
Analysis: The appeal was decided by following an earlier Tribunal ruling on a comparable steel grade, where import was permitted after the concerned Ministry had clarified that the grade was not objectionable for import. The imported goods were identified by Customs as J3 grade, and the Ministry of Steel communication stated that grade J3 was presently outside the purview of Steel & Steel Products (Quality Control) Order, 2024 for the specified consignment. In that factual and legal setting, the basis for treating the goods as liable to redemption fine and personal penalty did not survive.
Conclusion: Redemption fine and personal penalty were held unsustainable and the appeal was allowed.
Final Conclusion: The appellant obtained relief against the penal consequences imposed on the import, on the basis that the imported grade was treated as permissible for the stated consignment.
Ratio Decidendi: Where the competent Ministry clarifies that a specified imported grade is outside the operative quality-control restriction, penal consequences based on treating that grade as objectionable import cannot be sustained.
