13 October 2012 you must read the case:

http://delhicourts.nic.in/mar06/SANDEEP%20JAIN%20VS.%20UOI.htm

In the case of CCus., Chennai v. BPL Ltd. 2010 (259) E.L.T. 526 (Mad.)

The High Court noted that section 27 of the Customs Act mandates on the importer to produce such documents or other evidence, while seeking refund, to establish that the amount of duty in relation to which such refund is claimed, has not been passed on by him to any other person.
However, in the given case, the respondent had not produced any document other than the certificate issued by the Chartered Accountant to substantiate its refund claim. The certificate issued by the Chartered Accountant was merely a piece of evidence acknowledging certain facts. It would not automatically entitle a person to refund in the absence of any other evidence. Hence, the respondent could not be granted refund merely on the basis of the said certificate.

Thus, the High Court, overruling the Tribunal’s decision, answered the question of law in favour of revenue.
