Metal Powder Company Ltd. Vs. Collector of C. Excise, Madurai

Court: Chennai

Decided on: Oct-31-1994

Reported in: 1995(75)ELT51(Mad)

ORDER1. Even when the Writ Miscellaneous Petitions came up before this Court having regard to the nature of the relief sought for and the stage of the proceedings before the authorities below, I considered it appropriate to dispose of the main writ petitions themselves. Learned counsel on either side had no objection to the said course. Consequently, the said main writ petitions themselves are taken up for hearing. 2. These writ petitions relate to one and the same subject matter though raising overlapping issues and pertaining to different stage of the proceedings. Hence they are dealt with together. 3. Having regard to the stage of the proceedings before the authorities below, I consider it inappropriate to refer to the various claims on the merits of the main dispute itself. Suffice it to notice that the dispute centers round a conflicting claim as to whether the commodity in question is zinc dust or zinc powder for applying the proper rate of duty under the Central Excise Act. It a...
