The dominant issue was whether customs duty and consequential penalties under sections 112(a) and 114AA of the Customs Act could be sustained when the Order-in-Original fastened liability on multiple separate legal entities on a "jointly and/or severally" basis, allegedly arising from under-declaration of goods to reduce commission payable to IEC holders or their employees.
