CESTAT adjudicated a customs duty case involving fraudulent manipulation of Duty Free Scrips through illegal EDI system access. The tribunal found that the importer (Raja Ram and Company) utilized forged scrips issued by DGFT, with a customs broker (Kirti Cargo) facilitating improper import clearance. The key individual (Sharafat Hussain) raised bills through unauthorized companies, which escaped initial scrutiny. The tribunal confirmed customs duty with interest and imposed penalties on the importer and associated party (Jinender Jain). The extended limitation period was deemed valid, and both appeals were summarily dismissed, upholding the Principal Commissioner's original order.
