The High Court had correctly held that petitioners failed to challenge the original order and instead filed an appeal without the statutory pre-deposit requirement. When the appeal was dismissed for non-compliance with pre-deposit provisions, petitioners sought relief under Article 226, which the High Court properly declined as it would contravene statutory requirements. The SC found no grounds to interfere with the High Court's discretionary jurisdiction exercise, affirming that courts cannot grant relief contrary to express statutory provisions through constitutional writ jurisdiction. en-us Wed, 02 Jul 2025 08:42:26 +0530 Wed, 02 Jul 2025 08:42:37 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/highlights?id=90018 The SC dismissed the SLP challenging the High Court's refusal to direct the Commissioner of Customs (Appeals) to admit petitioners' appeal without mandatory pre-deposit under Section 129E of the Customs Act, 1962.
