RBF Rig Corporation, Mumbai Versus The Commissioner of Customs (Imports), – Supreme Court – Customs – Refund -Adjudicating Authority cannot permitted to circumvent the order passed by the High Court. High Court directs consideration of refund claim on the basis of essentiality certificate – Adjudicating Authority rejects claim on the ground that assessment not challenged. Article 226 of the Constitution confers powers on the High Court to issue certain writs for the enforcement of fundamental rights conferred by Part-III of the Constitution or for any other purpose. The question, whether any particular relief should be granted under Article 226 of the Constitution, depends on the facts of each case. The guiding principle in all cases is promotion of justice and prevention of injustice. It is not open to the subordinate Tribunal to examine whether a direction issued by the High Court under its writ powers was correct and refuse to carry it out as such amounts to denial of justice and destroys the principle of hierarchy of courts in the administration of justice.
These 18 appeals, by special leave, are directed against he common judgment and order dated September 6, 2007 passed by Calcutta High Court whereby 18 criminal revision applications filed by the appellant for quashing the proceedings initiated by the
This appeal is directed against the Order of the Customs, Excise and Gold (Control) Appellate Tribunal, West Zonal Bench [hereinafter referred to as ‘the Tribunal’] dated 12.05.2006. The Deputy Commissioner of Customs has rejected the refund claim of appellant on the ground of unjust enrichment and failure to challenge the assessment of the Bills of Entry at the appellate stage, without even considering the Essentiality Certificates in the light of specific and binding directions of the High Court. A refund claim under the Act is not an appeal proceeding and the officer considering a refund claim cannot sit in appeal or review an assessment order made by a competent authority. Such assessment order is final unless it is reviewed and/or modified in an appeal. If for any reason, the subordinate authority is of the view that the directions issued by the Court is contrary to statutory provision or well established principles of law, it can approach the same Court with necessary application/petition for clarification or modification or approach the superior forum for appropriate reliefs. In the present case, as we have already noticed, the respondents have not questioned the order passed by the High Court, which order has reached finality. In such circumstances, we cannot permit the adjudicating authority to circumvent the order passed by the High Court.

In a case of bounced cheque, the Supreme Court (SC) has ruled a person convicted for issuing the instrument cannot be prosecuted again on the charge of cheating about the same cheque. The cheque issued without sufficient balance in the account is a case under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. The offence of cheating is under Section 420 of the IPC. In this case, Kolla Veera vs Gorantla Rao, the convict submitted he was found guilty in the cheque case; so he could not be punished a second time for issuing the cheque as a case of cheating.
The Supreme Court has, on facts of the case, upheld the decision of Madras High Court that from the scheme of amalgamation becoming effective, proceedings in which the transferor company was a party be continued and enforced by or against the transferee company in the same manner and to the same extent as it could be or might have been continued and enforced by or against the transferor company as if the scheme had not been made. In other words, when a transferor company stands dissolved (with or without winding up) due to amalgamation, its right under the decree for eviction devolves on the transferee company.
