Provisions expressly mentioned in the judgment/order text.
CESTAT ruled against Micromax's refund claims of Rs. 18.38 Cr and Rs. 35.89 Cr for Additional Duty of Customs paid on imported mobile phones. The Tribunal held that re-assessment of Bills of Entry under Sec. 17 was mandatory before filing refund applications, as established in Supreme Court precedents (Priya Blue Industries, Flock India, and ITC). Micromax's attempt to utilize Sec. 149 for amendments was rejected as inappropriate for claiming notification benefits. Additionally, the principle of unjust enrichment applied since the duty burden had been passed to consumers through MRP-based pricing. The Tribunal concluded that having missed prescribed timelines for re-assessment, Micromax was ineligible for the claimed refunds. Revenue's appeal was dismissed.
