Alternate statutory remedy governs GST assessment challenge, with statutory appeal preserved and limitation objection barred for the permitted filing ...
CESTAT allowed the refund claim, finding that the proper officer failed to issue a speaking order under Section 17(5) of the Customs Act, 1962 when reassessing duty on shipping bills. The tribunal determined that the assessment demanding duty based on Wet Metric Tonne instead of Dry Metric Tonne was procedurally defective, as no substantive order was passed within the mandated 15-day period. Consequently, the reasons for denying the refund were deemed unsustainable, effectively supporting the appellant's claim for duty refund based on procedural non-compliance.
