Penalty under sections 112(a) and 114AA for alleged abetment in overvaluation of imported goods to evade anti-dumping duty was held unsustainable because the imports were effected through High Sea Sales on the basis of agreements and banking-channel payments, and the declared transaction value could not be rejected on the department's premise of a lower supplier price.
