Court | Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi |
Decided On | Feb-05-2008 |
Judge | P Das |
Appellant | Cce |
Respondent | Chandra Motor |
Show cause notice was issued on 28.2.2007. The Adjudicating Authority confirmed the tax of Rs. 16,280/- and imposed penalty of equal amount under Section 76 of the Finance Act, 1994. The Commissioner (Appeals) set aside the penalty imposed under Section 76. The Revenue contended that the Commissioner (Appeals) had not appreciated the provision of Section 73(4), which provides demand of tax in respect of suppression of fact with intent to evade payment of tax.
3. I find that after considering the facts and circumstances of the case in detail, Commissioner (Appeals) observed that the respondent has acted in a bonafide manner which was not disputed by the Revenue. So, Commissioner (Appeals) has rightly set aside the penalty. Accordingly, I do not find any reason to interfere with the order of Commissioner (Appeals). The appeal of Revenue is rejected.
