Denial of concessional duty rate for import of 'waste paper' used in production of 'paper' instead of 'newsprint', non-maintenance of separate books concealed from excise authorities to obtain 'end-use certificate'. Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 proceedings - no inconsistency with determination of duty liability on past clearances. Penalties u/s 112 of Customs Act on individuals - no specific finding on their role in furnishing 'end-use' certificate, only overall managerial role considered. Confiscation u/s 111(m), not 111(d). Penalties on individuals set aside for lack of determination of their responsibility in import and filing bill of entry. Appeal disposed.
