Issues involved: Dismissal of appeal for want of prosecution u/s non-appearance of party, imposition of penalty u/s 112 of the Customs Act, 1962 on M/s. Cosmos Trading Co. for diversion of goods supplied to M/s. Marvel Fashions.
Dismissal of Appeal for Want of Prosecution: The appeal by M/s. Marvel Fashions was dismissed due to their consistent non-appearance despite multiple adjournments in the interest of justice, leading to the dismissal of their appeal for want of prosecution. Imposition of Penalty on M/s. Cosmos Trading Co.: M/s. Cosmos Trading Co. faced penalty under Section 112 of the Customs Act, 1962 for supplying fabrics to M/s. Marvel Fashions, which were diverted to the local market instead of being used for printing and exporting as per the authorization. Reasoning for Penalty Imposition: The Commissioner found M/s. Cosmos Trading Co. in contravention of the authorization under Annexure "A" as the fabrics supplied were not suitable for printing, leading to diversion to the local market. Despite M/s. Cosmos Trading Co.'s contentions, the Commissioner held them liable for penalty due to the nature of the supplied fabrics and the intended use not aligning with the authorization. Justification for Penalty Set Aside: The Tribunal set aside the penalty on M/s. Cosmos Trading Co. as there was no evidence of their knowledge or involvement in the diversion of fabrics by M/s. Marvel Fashions. The Tribunal found no basis for penalizing M/s. Cosmos Trading Co. and allowed their appeal with consequential relief. Dismissal of M/s. Marvel Fashions' Appeal: Due to non-prosecution, the appeal of M/s. Marvel Fashions was dismissed without delving into its merits, as they failed to appear for their case proceedings. Disposition of Appeals: The Tribunal disposed of both appeals by dismissing M/s. Marvel Fashions' appeal for non-prosecution and setting aside the penalty on M/s. Cosmos Trading Co. based on the lack of evidence linking them to the diversion of supplied fabrics.
