The appellants' plead ignorance of the Public Notice No. 46 dated 1-12-80 amending para 198 (4) of the Appendix 9 of the A.M. 1981 Policy. They plead that they opened the letter of credit on 9-12-80 in terms of the earlier OGL for imports of Ampicillin Sodium under Appendix 10, Sr. No. (1) of A.M. 1981 Policy. The appellants later came to know of the change in the policy and in this behalf they have relied on the letter dated 26-10-81 from All India Importers Association addressed to the appellants and letter dated 14-10-81 from M/s.

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Mumbai

Decided on: Feb-28-1983

Reported in: (1983)LC791DTri(Mum.)bai

1. This is an appeal under Section 129-A of the Customs Act, from M/s Gujarat Electronics, Ankleshwar. The learned Advocate for the appellant has submitted that the import of cabinet parts for video cassettes has been wrongly held as unauthorised and contravening the provisions of the Import Trade Control Order and therefore the Dy. Collector's order No. S/10-26/8ID dated 15.4.81 is not correct. He has submitted a sample of the goods imported and pointed out that the cassette cabinet is not made entirely of plastic and the import of the cabinet should be allowed under OGL Appendix 10, Sr. No. 1 of the A-M 81 policy. The order of the Dy. Collector holding the cabinet as a plastic entruded, moulded component falling under Sr. No. 444 of Appendix 5 was incorrect. This would be further confirmed from the fact that in the next policy for the period AM-1982, Appendix 5, Sr. No. 580(36) covers Video Cassettes without tape and parts thereof. This specific restriction under the subsequent poli...

The said entitlement is irrespective of any other consideration.37. The merits of the matter recedes in the background to which the learned Magistrate need not address himself, but has to restrict only to the two termini, the arrest of the accused, filing of the charge-sheet and the span of period involved in between.38.
