The CESTAT upheld the Commissioner (Appeals) order allowing the appellant to seek amendment of Bills of Entry under section 149 of the Customs Act, rejecting the Revenue's contention that amendments cannot be made under section 17(5). It was clarified that section 17(5) mandates a speaking order for reassessment under section 17(4) but does not permit document amendment by the assessee.

Consequently, the departmental appeal was dismissed, affirming the appellant's right to amend the 180 Bills of Entry filed between February and October 2014.
