Cce, Madurai Vs. M/S Tractor and Farm Equipments Ltd.

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Chennai

Decided on: Mar-04-2010

Heard both sides. The respondents have paid automobile cess on exported tractors which was exempted. The authorities below have sanctioned a refund. In particular, the lower appellate authority has followed a decision of the Hon’ble Rajasthan High Court in the case of Suncity Alloys Pvt. Ltd. Vs. Commissioner - 2007 (218) ELT 174 (Raj.). The Department has filed an appeal based on the ratio of the Tribunal’s decision in the case of CCE Vs. Mahindra and Mahindra - 1991 (53) ELT 408. I find that the said decision of the Tribunal relates to grant of rebate under the then Rule 12 of the Central Excise Rules, 1944. As such, the ratio of the said decision is not applicable to this case in which refund has been granted. Consequently, I am of the view that the Department’s appeal has no merit and the same is dismissed....
