I received a ₹25,000 penalty for an excise matter back in 2007. I appealed against it, but haven’t heard anything from the court since. Now, I have a hearing on October 20th. If I don’t attend, will my appeal be rejected? If so, would I only have to pay the ₹25,000 penalty, or would there be interest added on top? I’m not very familiar with legal matters, so any guidance would be appreciated.

It is highly likely your appeal will be rejected if you don’t attend the hearing. As you have not received a decision after appealing, the penalty amount may include interest accrued since 2007, which will be calculated according to applicable law and interest rates. It’s crucial to attend the hearing or seek legal advice to understand your options and potential consequences.

Imagine this scenario: An importer in India clears goods through customs, paying all duties and using valid import licenses. Everything seems fine, the goods are released. But then, Customs suddenly demands more duty, claiming the licenses were fake. The importer is confused – the goods were cleared after rigorous checks, with the relevant licenses verified and recorded. Customs claims a stolen password was used to manipulate the license details. How can the importer protect themselves from this unfair accusation? Was there any involvement from customs officials or the Customs House Agent (CHA)? Did the importer pay the license premium? What are the legal avenues available to the importer in this situation?
