2016 (11) TMI 765 - HC - CustomsImposition of ADD - Purified Terephthalic Acid - imported from China PR, Iran, Indonesia, Malaysia & Taiwan - Held that: - although the petitioner has a statutory remedy of an appeal against the Final Findings of the DA under Section 9C of the CTA before the Customs, Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal (CESTAT), in view of the heavy pendency of such appeals it is unlikely that the CESTAT will be able to take up the appeal filed at an early date. His apprehension is that the appeal itself might be rendered infructuous - the above plea does not constitute a sufficient justification to permit the petitioner to bypass the statutory remedy of an appeal provided under the CTA. It would, however, be open to the petitioner to request the CESTAT, as and when an appeal is filed by it, to dispose of the appeal expeditiously and in any event not later than six months thereafter - petition dismissed.
