HC held that recovery of duty drawback availed for non-submission of proof of export realisation attracts the mandatory pre-deposit requirement under Section 129E of the Customs Act, and established precedents of this Court, the BHC and CESTAT preclude judicial relaxation of that statutory pre-deposit merely because the petitioner's bank account was frozen by the department.
