The rejection was based on the interpretation of Ad hoc Exemption Orders, where the subsequent order did not cover the quantity already cleared under the initial order. As the initial exemption order had expired, imports after a certain date were not eligible for exemption. The absence of an exemption order for the cleared quantity justified the duty payment, leading to the rejection of the refund claim. The Tribunal emphasized the importance of interpreting fiscal laws without ambiguity and distinguished previous decisions that did not align with the current circumstances. en-us Fri, 16 Feb 2001 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 20 Dec 2011 18:04:27 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=96315 The Tribunal rejected the appellant's refund claim for imported steel scrap amounting to Rs. 7,27,445.00.
