The CESTAT upheld the respondents' case, ruling that the allegations of fraudulently obtaining Duty Free Credit Entitlement (DFCE) licenses and engaging in circular trading of cut and polished diamonds were unfounded. The Tribunal affirmed that the DFCE licenses used for imports were valid, as the DGFT had not cancelled or modified them. Consequently, the demands for duty, confiscation of goods, and penalties were dismissed, and the Revenue's appeal was rejected.
