P. DINESHA, MEMBER (JUDICIAL) Shri Subendra Kumar., Advocate for the Appellant Shri Vikas Jhajharia, AC, Authorized Representative for the Respondent ORDER The present appeal is filed by the exporter of leather goods to whom a Show Cause Notice dated 13.12.2019 was issued alleging, inter alia, t .....

The second report dated 09.11.2016 certifies that the sample does not satisfy the norms and conditions laid down in the Public Notice for the type of finished leather as declared ( Sheep Finished Leather, Colour: OFF-WHITE, Category: I ). From the said reports, there is a difference inasmuch as the first report mentions the colour of the goods as WHITE as against OFF-WHITE in the second report. 10.

Hence, the demand of confiscation apart from demand of duty liability and the various penalties levied on the appellants cannot sustain, since the very basis on which the case of the Revenue rests is not well-founded. In view of the above, the impugned orders are set aside and so also the various demands confirmed therein. 6.
