Decided on: Feb-07-1997

Reported in: 67(1997)DLT106

In this appeal, the appellant has assailed the order of the Rent Control Tribunal primarily on two grounds, namely, (i) that the Tribunal could not have entertained entirely new written statement in response to limited amendment allowed of the petition.

The appellants had imported a consignment declared by them as brass scrap ferry at Kandla Port. They had sought for clearance under OGL Appendix 6 List 8 Part II Item No. 5 of Import Policy, 1988-91. Addl. Collector of Customs consequent upon the proceedings initiated against the appellants denied them benefit of exemption on the goods as brass scrap under Notification 319/88, dated 23-12-1988.
