Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeals against the Bombay High Court's rejection of Revenue's applications under Section 130A of the Customs Act, 1962, which challenged the Tribunal's reduction of redemption fines and penalties imposed on importers for non-compliance with EXIM Policy. The Court held that the Tribunal's decisions were justified as they followed precedent set in M/s. Stonemann Marble Industries, establishing that the Tribunal has the authority to reduce penalties based on similar cases. Consequently, the appeals were dismissed, affirming the Tribunal's orders.
