HC held that the 1% Extra Duty Deposit (EDD) constitutes a security deposit, not a customs duty under Section 2(15). The refund claim by the importer is valid and not time-barred. Relying on precedents from multiple High Courts, the court determined that withholding the EDD would result in unjust enrichment. The Appellant-Revenue is mandated to refund the entire deposited amount within 12 weeks, with statutory interest calculated from the re-deposit date until actual payment. The appeal was consequently dismissed, affirming the importer's right to recover the security deposit.
