The dispute concerns imposition of penalties under provisions corresponding to Sections 114A and 114AA for alleged short levy/non levy of anti dumping duty and alleged willful misstatement or suppression. The authority found the importer had not paid anti dumping duty but, upon summons, voluntarily deposited the duty with interest.
