CESTAT dismissed the Revenue's appeal challenging the enhancement of imported goods' transaction value. The Tribunal held that unilateral value enhancement based solely on selective National Import Database (NIDB) data without adhering to statutory provisions is legally unsustainable. Relying on precedent in a prior case involving similar circumstances, the Tribunal found no valid grounds to modify the original declared transaction value, thereby upholding the importer's valuation and rejecting the Revenue's appeal without merit.
