Further investigation has proved that ACI was not at all registered with Central Excise Authority in terms of the Customs (Import of Goods at Concessional Rate of Duty for Manufacture of Excisable Goods) Rules, 1996 and hence they did not qualify for the concessional duty benefit under SL No. 30(A) of the notification No. 21/2002 Cus dated 01.03.2012, as sought to be availed in the import of the goods vide the bills of entry in question, Further, admission of liability of payment of the demanded duty, made by M/s JVL (noticee No. 1) before the Settlement Commission, clearly implies that the M/s ACI (Noticee No. 9) too had dir .....
