Since some of the appellant's imports fell into this period, the demand for duty and penalties based on the new condition was invalid. - The CESTAT found no evidence of fraud, misrepresentation, or deliberate evasion of duty by the appellant. The failure to fulfill the new condition was considered a procedural violation, not a misdeclaration.
