The revenue has claimed that the following substantial questions of law would arise from the order dated 27.12.2005, passed by the Tribunal:- (i) Whether in the absence of provisional assessment, duty paid in excess can be adjusted against duty short paid, especially when the refund claim of excess duty is otherwise time barred?

Having heard learned counsel for the revenue, we are of the considered view that the questions of law claimed would not emerge from the order passed by the Tribunal. According to the first substantial question of law claimed, the claim of adjustment of duty paid in excess made by the respondent is claimed to be time barred.
