Maintainability of appeal before the High Court - appropriate forum - Claiming exemption from duty of customs on foreign going going vessel - the High Court is right in observing that the principal question in the present case is not in relation to the rate of duty but determining whether vessel AE is a foreign going vessel or not, and if the vessel AE is a foreign going vessel, Section 87 of the Act will be applicable or not. Therefore, with respect to such an issue, against the order passed by the CESTAT, the appeal would be maintainable before the High Court under Section 130 of the Act. - SC
