The
Appellants merely followed the same procedure which were being
followed in past at these ICDs. The predecessor officers were let off
on the ground that they handled less number of consignments as
compared to Appellants. This analogy adopted by the adjudicating
authority is erroneous. The exports proceeds were realized by the
exporter in case of sanctioned drawback and hence there is no
reason to hold them responsible as held in case of C.C Air Cargo
(Export) Vs. Sam Merchandising Pvt. Ltd. - 2013 (288) ELT 418
(TRI - DEL). There is no evidence that the Appellants knew Shri Kirt
Shrimankar as benami exporter. There is no evidence of Appellants
receiving any favour from Shri Kirt Shrimankar or any other. The Ld.
Counsel relies upon following judgments in support of his
contention:

6. The Ld. Senior Counsel, Dr. Samir Chakraborty, appearing for
Shri S. Chattraj, submits that the evidences of call records between
Shri Chattraj, attending marriage ceremony of Kirit Shrimankar's son
at Mumbai and availing flight tickets for the self and his family,
staying in hotel at expenses of Shri Kirt Shrimankar cannot ipso facto
leads to conclusion that the Appellant was involved in alleged
overvaluation of export goods along with the exporters. That it is
only an allegation that he was entertained at guest house of Kirit
Shrimankar (Main Noticee) whereas there is no evidence of same.
The DRI/Department has not brought on record the transcript of the
phone calls between Shri Kirit Shrimankar and subject appellant to
support the allegations made against the appellant. He relies upon
Tribunal's order in case of Shafeek P.K. Vs. Commr. of Customs
2015 (325) ELT 199 (T) and Khemani Purshottam Mohandas Vs.
CC 2017 (354) ELT 275 (T) to show that in absence of any transcript
of alleged conversation, the appellant cannot be penalised. He also
submits that none of the purported findings leads to evidence of any
6
wrongdoing by the Appellant. (No. 6) That, the shipping bills were
provisionally assessed at the time of exports, samples were drawn
and sent to Textiles Committee, Mumbai for testing of export
samples. It was only after receipt of test report on the exported
samples and realization of sale proceeds of exports; the drawback
was sanctioned or other export benefits were given to the exporter.
None of the documents/ evidences contradicting the above facts has
been brought on record. He also points out that the undervaluation
allegation is based upon the report of the expert valuer Shri Bipin
Suri and Shri Jerry John. However, there is no aversion in show
cause notice as to how both these persons are expert valuers. It was
also impressed upon that there is no professional qualification of
these persons or their recognition from any institute or even the
customs department. Further, as per Ld. Sr. Advocate there is
nothing on record to show the said persons are experts in textiles.
That only on the basis of letters given by the said persons that they
are having more than 25 years of experience, the show cause notice
has accepted the same. Ld. Advocate further submits that in case of
called back consignments under Shipping Bill No. 400614 and
400615 both dt. 18.05.2013, the Consulate General of India at Dubai
had given a report that the value declared by the importer at Dubai
was only Rs. US$ 11465.55 equivalent at Rs. 6,22,664/-,but this
report was itself rejected by the DRI authorities and they
redetermined the value of the subject export goods at Rs.
7
49,50,137/- which is nearly 8 times higher than value declared by
the Dubai Importer. No evidence of export of like goods has been
brought on record. Therefore, the redetermined value is itself
conclusive evidence that no reliance can be placed upon the report of
Consulate General, the ld. Sr. Advocate states that according to him
there is no evidence of any wrongdoing on the part of Appellant, and
hence no penalty is imposable.
