Imposition of penalty and confiscation/redemption fine - repairing works for risers and pipes - repair activity done at DTA location instead of designated EOU location - violation of TSA bond furnished by ONGC - The Tribunal held that, Section 111(J) comes into operation only when goods are removed from the customs area or warehouse without permission or contrary to the permission already granted. It does not deal with the warehouse goods in transit with which the above regulations i.e. Warehoused Goods (Removable) Regulations, 1963 have been provided and which make the goods dutiable in the hands of persons executing bond for any violation of conditions of bond. - As far as appellants are concerned, if intention was to evade service-tax, then show cause notice should have been issued under relevant provisions including penal provisions of Finance Act, 1994.
