CESTAT determined that the importer failed to conclusively prove lack of knowledge regarding export of expired drugs. Despite multiple transactional relationships, the appellant could not substantiate claims of non-awareness.

The procedural irregularities and lack of definitive evidence led to a partial allowance of the appeal, with the matter to be referred to a regular bench for further adjudication under customs regulations.
