Reassessment of assessable value based solely on an empanelled Chartered Engineer certificate was held impermissible where the sequential valuation steps under the Customs Valuation Rules, 2007 and adequate market evidence were not followed; the enhanced value was set aside and the declared value accepted.

Earlier precedent rejecting engineer-certificate-only enhancement and permitting redemption governed the outcome.
