(Judgment of the Court was made by N.ANAND VENKATESH, J.)
This appeal has been filed under Section 130 of The Customs Act to set aside the impugned order passed by CESTAT in final Order No.41318/2017, dated 27.07.2017.
2. We have heard the submissions made on either side and the materials available on record.
3. The present case pertains to refund of special additional duty of customs under Notification No.102/2007-Customs, dated 14.09.2007. This Court had an opportunity to deal with the scope of this refund under the said notification in CMA (MD) No.256 of 2021 and after considering the matter in detail, this Court held that the appeal is not maintainable before this Court and the appeal can be filed only before the Apex Court under Section 130E of the Customs Act, 1962. The said order squarely covers the present case also.
4. In view of the above, this appeal is closed and it is left open to the department to file an appeal before the Supreme Court, if so advised and proceed further in accordance with law
