CESTAT adjudicated a complex customs proceedings case involving procedural safeguards under Section 155 of Customs Act, 1962. The tribunal found that the original authority improperly evaluated 'good faith' and statutory limitations, thereby violating procedural protections for customs officers. The appellate tribunal critically examined the adjudication process, highlighting the importance of adhering to statutory limitations and procedural safeguards. Consequently, the appeals were allowed, with the case remanded to the original adjudicating authority for reconsideration, emphasizing that procedural integrity is paramount in administrative and quasi-judicial proceedings against government officers.
