Decided on: Apr-17-1974

Reported in: 1978(2)ELT194(All)

This is a petitioner's appeal against an order passed by a learned Single Judge dismissing, its writ petition for quashing of a demand for payment of excise duty and the appellate order confirming the said demand by the Central Excise Authorities.
