A remand by the Commissioner (Appeals) treating a Tribunal judgment as 'additional evidence' under Rule 5 was held unsustainable because judicial decisions do not constitute documentary or evidentiary material within the meaning of Rule 5 and related statutory definitions; that part of the impugned orders was set aside. Separately, where facts and legal questions were identical to a prior Tribunal decision which was affirmed by the Supreme Court, the appeals were to be decided on that binding precedent; consequently the imported LCD monitors were held classifiable under CTH 8528 5200 attracting IGST at 18% and the appeals were allowed.
