HC held that under the unamended Section 3(12) of Customs Tariff Act, 1975, imposing interest, penalty, and redemption fine on IGST was without legal authority. Following the precedent in Mahindra & Mahindra Limited, the court quashed the impugned order levying interest and penalties. The amendment to Section 3(12) by Finance Act, 2024 is prospective, applicable only from 16th August, 2024. Additionally, a trade notice allowed regularization of imports under Advance Authorization Scheme that could not meet pre-import conditions, further supporting the court's decision to set aside confiscation and redemption fine. Petition allowed.
