Demand duty - Allegation of import Portland Pozzolana Cement without payment of customs duty - No evidence for actual import of the goods - The CESTAT held that the Department could have conducted investigation to find out the purpose for which the money was transferred or they could have transferred the case to the concerned department to investigate on the money laundering angle. Without initiating any such action, demanding customs duty only based on the money transfer to the Exporter's Bank Account is not supported by any evidence. - Demands cannot be based solely on financial transactions without corroborating evidence of import.
