of CESTAT allowed the appeal and set aside the impugned order, holding that royalty/lease charges collected by a port authority from terminal operators (including BOT arrangements) constitute letting out of immovable property/joint-venture receipts rather than provision of a 'port service,' and therefore do not attract service tax. The Tribunal relied on coordinate HC and SC precedents recognizing lease/rental character of such receipts and on Ministry/TRU clarifications which did not classify rental/lease charges as taxable 'port services.' Consequently, no service tax liability arises on royalty/lease payments received by the port; the departmental demand was quashed and the appeal granted.
