Accordingly, present MA (ROM) should not have been filed when the Apex Court's order in Fortune Marketing dismissed both appeals of that assessee i.e. to appeal against final order of Tribunal and MA(ROM) order passed by Tribunal.

Revenue explains at this stage that while dismissing the appeal of Fortune Marketing on 13/01/2017 and dismissing the appeal of Ingram Micro India Pvt Ltd on 03/03/2017 specific order of dismissal was passed by the Hon'ble Court without leaving any scope for MA(ROM) before Tribunal in Fortune Marketing. The Supertron Electronics Pvt Ltd order was passed by the Tribunal on 06/01/2017 and that was appealed before the apex Court.
