It had further held that refund claims filed after the prescribed period of limitation were barred where the importer had neither challenged the self-assessment nor raised any protest at the time of payment of duty. The matter was accordingly placed before the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n<h2><em>Supreme Court Held<\/em><\/h2>\n<p>The Supreme Court, after condoning the delay, admitted the appeals for hearing. It was noted that the principal issue for consideration was the sustainability of refund claims filed without challenging the self-assessment of the bill of entry, as decided by the Tribunal. The Court also admitted for examination the connected classification issues relating to IP phones without video-calling capability and Non-carrier\/Enterprise Ethernet Switches, for determining eligibility for customs duty exemptions under the relevant notifications. The appeals were directed to be heard along with connected matters, with all issues kept open for final adjudication.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Case Details: Commissioner of
