The application being GA 1 of 2026 is allowed. Learned counsel for the appellant submits that the monetary effect in this case is a refund of below Rs.5 lakhs which is below the limit as prescribed in the Central Board of Indirect Taxes & Customs’ instruction under F. No.390/Misc./30/2023-JC dated 02.11.2023 but the case falls within the 2 exceptional category under para 2 as per Central Board of Indirect Taxes & Customs’ instruction dated 02.11.2023. We have perused the application. We do not find any reason to entertain this appeal where the appellant has not clearly suggested which exceptional clause as read in para 2 as per Central Board of Indirect Taxes & Customs’ instruction dated 02.11.2023 is applicable in the present appeal. As such, this appeal and the connected application being GA/2/2026 are dismissed as the monetary effect in this matter is below Rs. 1 crore. (RAJARSHI BHARADWAJ, J.) (UDAY KUMAR, J.) Sp/
