2014 (3) TMI 247 - AT - CustomsReturn of sale proceeds of the said confiscated gold to the appellant in terms of earlier decision of tribunal [2010 (10) TMI 650 - CESTAT, MUMBAI] - Held that:- even though the Tribunal passed the order as early as 28/10/2010 the department has approached the hon'ble High Court of Bombay only in August 2012 i.e. almost after a gap of two years. The appeal is yet to be admitted and the current status is pre-admission. Even after the filing of the appeal, 1½ years have passed and the department has not initiated any action either to get the order of the Tribunal stayed or the matter decided in their favour. This shows complete inertia on the part of the department in pursuing the matter to its logical conclusion. Department directed to comply with the order dated 28/10/2010 within a period of one month from today or get direction from the hon'ble High Court against the order of this Tribunal. If no order is received in favour of the Revenue from the hon'ble High Court, the direction of the Tribunal should be complied in toto and action taken accordingly.
