Political contribution deductions require assessee-specific proof before cash-back allegations can justify disallowance or unexplained-money additions...
CESTAT partially allowed the appellant's customs appeal regarding eligibility for exemption under Notifications 11/1997, 23/1998, and 20/1999. The Tribunal held that appellant's defibrillators, primarily for external use, did not qualify for exemption restricted to internal use devices, following Supreme Court precedent. The appellant committed mis-declaration and suppression by claiming internal use despite knowing exemption denial, justifying duty demand, interest, and penalty for 1997-99 imports under extended limitation period. However, 2002 import demands were time-barred under normal limitation. Penalty under Section 112(a) against the General Manager was set aside due to insufficient evidence of his involvement in suppression.
