The tribunal held that the penalty should be imposed on the party liable for duty payment, which in this case was not the appellant. Additionally, as the imports occurred before the enactment of Section 114A, the retrospective application of the penalty was deemed unjustified. Therefore, the penalty imposed on the appellant was set aside, emphasizing the importance of correctly attributing penalties and the prohibition of retrospective imposition before the enactment of relevant provisions. en-us Tue, 30 May 2006 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 12:31:57 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=121047 The Appellate Tribunal CESTAT, Mumbai ruled in favor of the appellant in a case involving the imposition of a penalty under Section 114A of the Customs Act.
