Principal Commissioner of Custom Vs Khan Sadaf (Supreme Court of India)

In the case of Principal Commissioner of Custom Vs Khan Sadaf, the Supreme Court of India dealt with the issue of whether the Customs, Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal (CESTAT) had the jurisdiction to entertain an application for compounding of an offence under Section 137 of the Customs Act, 1962.

jurisdiction of CESTAT to entertain application for compounding of offence under Section 137 of Customs Act, 1962: SC kept the issue open

The petitioner, represented by learned senior counsel Ms. Nisha Bagchi, argued that the High Court had directed the respondent to pursue an appeal to CESTAT as an alternative remedy. However, it was contended that CESTAT did not have the authority to adjudicate on matters related to compounding of offences under Section 137 of the Customs Act.

While CESTAT had not made a decision on the merits of the compounding application, it had remanded the matter to the Chief Commissioner (Original Authority) for reconsideration. The respondent had initially filed a writ petition, which the petitioner argued should have been entertained by the High Court on its merits.
