Demand for customs duty on imported marble used by EOUs was rejected because DTA clearances occurred under judicial stay subject to payment of excise equal to customs, so there was no short-levy or revenue loss; consequential interest and customs demand were set aside.

Redemption fines cannot be imposed compulsorily except where provisional release on bond creates that obligation.
