Preferential duty benefit under a free trade agreement could not be denied on a mechanical application of Public Notice No. 33/2024 where subsequent CBIC Instruction No. 23/2024-Customs and later public notices had superseded the earlier position. The Court held that the assessment order, which rested entirely on non-compliance with the impugned public notice, had lost its foundation once the later statutory and departmental directions came into force.
