The Customs authority as per provision of section 81 of the Act was required to make the provisional assessment final within the reasonable time. In respect of the consignments of the respondent the customs authority  made provisional  assessment in between July, 1991 and February, 1992, but till August 1997 the customs authority did not make  the  assessment
final although the authority had the materials before it for making the final assessment of duties and order levies on the imported goods of the respondent taking the value at US# 400 per Metric ton. The customs authority inspires of having the materials for making the provisional assessment final did not make final assessment till August.  1997 taking the value of the imported goods at US$ 400 per Metric ton.

Bangladesh & Ors. Vs. Md. Salim Hossain 11 BLT (AD)-71

Article-102

Nature of Certiorari — Admittedly respondent No. 1 has not prayed for his reinstatement in service with back wages, relief sought for is declaratory form and the Labour Court found that such relief is not available to the respondent even though he has a good case for directing reinstatement. It appears from the perusal of the record that the Labour Court found that the respondent has a case but because of wrong prayer no relief can be granted. The High Court Division on the other
hand granted relief by way of reinstatement. In view of the aforesaid decisions of this Court we hold that the High ‘ Court Division was not justified in passing the order of reinstatement of the respondent in service with 50% back wages. The High Court Division acted beyond jurisdiction.
