Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the Customs, Excise and Gold (Control) Appellate Tribunal's order regarding the import of machinery by the appellant under Notification No. 77/90-Cus. The Court held that the Thyristor Converter, although new, was an integral part of the second-hand Temper Mill and did not violate the import conditions. The Court affirmed the Collector's decision to drop the charges and not impose penalties, emphasizing that the entire machinery was used for export production under the Kandla Free Trade Zone regulations.
