HC's judgment to prevail over CBIC Circular in case of contrary views by HC and the Circular


Quick Summary
This judgement clarifies that a High Court's ruling will always take precedence over a CBIC circular if their interpretations differ. The CESTAT upheld the Joint Commissioner's jurisdiction to issue and adjudicate a show cause notice, even if a circular suggested otherwise, by applying the principle that court judgments are binding.
