The Hon’ble Supreme court made it clear that the trade union represents its members who are workers, to whom dues may be owed by the employer, which are certainly debts owed for services rendered by each individual workman, who are collectively represented by the trade union.

Recomputation of the consignment value by authorities of imported goods: the burden of proof and enquiry.
when there is a dispute between the customs authorities and the importer as regards the valuation of the imported goods, on satisfaction of the conditions enumerated in sub-section (1), the authorities should make provisional assessment of customs duty under Section 18 of the Act. This expedites clearance, pending final adjudication on merits which may take time. This is also the mandate of the Board Circular No.38/2016 dated 22nd August, 2016. Any insistence and compulsion by the authorities that the importer should disclaim and forgo his statutory right under Section 18 of the Act would not be correct. Neither would it be right to reject the valuation as declared by the importer without reasonable doubt for certain reasons.

Hence, those complaints which are filed under section 31 of the RERA Act, 2016 demanding refund plus interest should only be adjudicated by the Adjudicating Officers and not by the Chairperson and members of the RERA. The refund plus interest orders passed by the RERA so far are without jurisdiction hence, null and void.
