Full Judgment
The bill of entry is in the name of their unit at Rohtak and in such cases, there is a need to endorse the bill of entry showing that the entire consignment covered under the respective bill of entry is transferred to the other unit, at Kadi unit in the present case.
There is no evidence available on record to verify this fact and therefore, I have to accept the findings of the lower authority that there is no declaration or intimation with the department about the transfer of consignment from Rohtak to Kadi. So far as the contentions of the appellants that the demand is time barred, I find that the provisions u/r 571 has been amended by Notfn.
N.11/95-CE(NT) dt. 16.3.95 and the "relevant date" for computing the period of six months is the date of filing of return in the succeeding month, therefore, in the present case, the credit has been taken in March 1995, the return to be filed by 5th of April 95 and counting six months from 5.4.95, the notice has been issued within time".
I do not think the main plea of the assessee before me as that it is barred by limitation the matter is not repetitive in nature. In exercise of the powers given to me under second proviso to Section 35B of the Central Excise Act, I decline to interfere the order and I dismiss the appeal.
2. In view thereof stay petition also stands disposed of.(Pronounced in Court)
