CESTAT set aside penalties for abetment of improper export and for use of false or incorrect material because the record did not show a specific, corroborated role by the appellant in overvaluation, misclassification, or the drawback claim. The evidence only linked him to helping obtain a fake driving licence and facilitate a bank account for the alleged mastermind, which was insufficient for penalty under Section 114(iii) and outside the scope of Section 114AA, as he was not shown to have filed, made, signed, or used any false customs document. The Tribunal also held that Section 117 could not be invoked without a show cause notice proposing that penalty.
