It is also the case of the respondent/revenue, that the final assessment has been done under the CTH(Customs Tariff Heading), which was declared by the petitioner in its bills of entry. 11. What is required to be noticed, is that the respondent/revenue claims, that intimation with regard to 95 bills of entry, as already finally assessed, was forwarded internally to Deputy Commissioner (Legal), ICD, Tughlakabad on 24.07.2020. 12.
