Bench: Hon'ble Chief Justice Mr. Justice Muhammad Shafi Siddiqui(Author), Hon'ble Mr. Justice Mahmood A. Khan Order Date: 22-OCT-21
The goods declaration for the release of the consignments were filed prior to the insertion of sub section 4 of Section 25-A. Learned counsel for the applicant does not controvert these facts. Thus at the relevant time when the goods were cleared and/or goods declarations were filed, benefit of sub section 4 of Section 25-A was not available with the applicant for enforcing earlier Valuation Ruling dated 10.12.2007 which was reviewed on 1.9.2008 issued by the competent authority under Section 25-A and 25-D of the Act. Undoubtedly before insertion of sub section 4 the continuity of an earlier time lapsed Valuation Ruling could not have been enforced.
