2.1 The facts of the case, leading to these appeals, are summarized herein below:

2.2 The appellants herein, had imported "LCD HB Colour Monitors without Stand, of size 19 inch" for use with medical equipment such as ultrasound machines, X-Ray machines, CT Scan and Magnetic Resonance Imaging system etc., through Air Cargo Complex (ACC), Mumbai and for this purpose, have filed various Bills of Entry (B/Es) periodically during the disputed period from December 2018 to February 2021, by classifying the "LCD HB Colour Monitors" under Customs Tariff Heading (CTH) 8528.
