Appellate recourse remained available where a superior officer had assumed functions ordinarily exercised by the proper officer, because such assumption did not extinguish the normal appeal mechanism. The Tribunal further held that the imported goods were not shown to fall within the Steel and Steel Products (Quality Control) Order, 2020 entries requiring BIS certification, so confiscation under section 111(d) for breach of import prohibition could not stand.
