..... ther the issue of labelling of consignment was before the Division Bench of this Tribunal or was given relief of to the party at any stage earlier, before the contest in the Tribunal. Since, the decision delivered does not show any context on the point of RSP, it will be reasonable for this Court to conclude that the same was not agitated to the prejudice of the party by the department. As far as, the issue of classification is concerned even from the judgment, it is clear that it has gone in favour of the importer, therefore, the main party stands exonerated of the charges. The question of any allegation sustaining against the CHA, therefore, does not arise. The decision cited by the learned advocate are clearly in support of the proposit .....

(supra) issue of non-fixing of M.R.P was not decided specifically. Para "10.4 I do not agree with the contention of the adjudicating authority that there was no mala fide intention of the importer for not fixing such labels and therefore did not that impose any penalty as not fixing the labels on the individual retail sale unit amounts to wrong and false declaration of RSP at the time of filing bill of entry, thus indulging in deliberate misstatement making the importer (Respondent 1) liable to penalty under Section 114A and 112(a) of the Customs Act, .....
