Recovery of drawback under Rules 16 and 16A of the 1995 Drawback Rules was held impermissible after the 2017 Drawback Rules came into force, because the repeal and saving provision in rule 20(2) did not preserve such proceedings and the show cause notice was issued only after the new rules operated.
