Cross-objections were held maintainable under Section 129A(4) of the Customs Act despite withdrawal of the departmental appeal, because they operate as an independent proceeding once filed.

The Tribunal therefore allowed redemption on payment of fine, applicable duty and interest, while leaving the reduced penalty undisturbed.
