1. This Civil Miscellaneous Appeal is against the order passed by the learned Principal District Court, Erode in GWOP No. 53 of 2005 as regards the appointment of guardian of two minor children.2. The appellant herein is the father of the minor children, Sanjuktha and Vigneswaran. Admittedly, the relationship between the appellant herein and the respondent is a strained one. The respondent has filed HMOP No.20 of 2002 for judicial separation on the file of the Principal Subordinate Judge, Erode. The respondent has filed a petition under Section 7(a), 8 and 10 of the Guardian and Wards Act to appoint her as the guardian of the minor children. The learned Sub Judge passed an order on the application allowing the mother to be appointed as the guardian of the two minor children. Aggrieved by the same, the father has come on appeal before this Court, contending that contrary to the desires of the children and much against their interest and without any due regard to the wishes of the minor ...

Court: Chennai

Decided on: Jul-06-2010

1. This Writ Petition raises a question which frequently comes before this Court for consideration. The Hon'ble Apex Court in the Judgment in KUMARI MADHURI PATIL AND ANOTHER v. COMMISSIONER, TRIBAL DEVELOPMENT reported in AIR 1995 SC 94, has directed all the States to constitute a Committee consisting of three members to go into the genuiness of the Community Certificates relating to Scheduled Caste and Schedule Tribe.2. Even before such Committees were constituted with the composition of three members, the Government of Tamil Nadu directed the constitution of the Committees at the District Level consisting of two members. Those committees at the District Level considered the genuiness of the Community Certificates and pass orders either affirming or cancelling those certificates. Whenever the orders passed by the District Level Committee consisting of two members are questioned before this Court, those orders were quashed on the ground that they were passed by the Committees with the...

Cce, Ltu, Chennai Vs. M/S. Eid Parry (India) Ltd.

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Chennai

Decided on: Jul-06-2010

The issue in dispute in the present appeal is as to whether the activity of the assessees of the storage of buffer stock of sugar as per the Government s direction and releasing of the same as and when fresh stock to be kept as buffer stock arises and for which the Government pays some amount to the assessees amounts to provision of storage and warehousing service by the assessee. 2. On hearing both sides I find that the issue stands settled by the decision of the Tribunal in Nawanshahr Cooperative Sugar Mills Vs. CCE, Jallandhar/Chandgarh 2008 (12) STR 176.

M/S. Sathya Engineering and Another Vs. Cce, Trichy

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Chennai

Decided on: Jul-06-2010

The issue common in both these appeals is penal action taken against the assessees under the provisions of Sections 77 and 78 of the Finance Act, 1994. 2. I have heard both sides. The services provided by the assessees are manpower recruitment supply. Their contention is that being individuals, and they were not aware of their liability to pay service tax is plausible. The Department has not discharged the burden of establishing the knowledge on their part of liability to pay tax during the period in dispute, so as to hold them guilty of suppression. I, therefore, set aside the penalty on both the assessees under Section 78 of the Finance Act by extending the protection under Section 80 ibid. However, I see no reason to interfere with the imposition of penalty under Section 77 and accordingly uphold the same. 3. The appeals are thus partly allowed as above....

I have heard both sides. The case has been made out on the strength of the statement in the Annual Report for the year 2005 - 2006 of the assessee-company who is a manufacturer of switches, sockets and parts of switches, that there is a discrepancy between physical stock and goods stock and the discrepancy is considered to be material and accordingly an amount of Rs.29,10,650/- (net debit) has been properly adjusted in the books of account. 3.

M/S. Hinduja Foundries Ltd. Vs. Cce, Chennai

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Chennai

Decided on: Jul-06-2010

The issue in the present appeal is whether interest is payable due to delayed payment of duty on the strength of supplementary invoices. 2. On hearing both sides, I find that the issue stands settled by the apex Court in Commissioner of Central Excise, Pune Vs. SKF India Ltd. 2009 (239) ELT 385 (SC). The learned counsel for the assessee seeks to rely upon the Hon’ble Karnataka High Court’s decision in CCE, Bangalore Vs. Bharat Heavy Electricials Ltd. 2010-TIOL-437-HC-KAR which has distinguished the SKF case cited supra. However, in view of the fact that the apex Court has held that interest is payable on all delayed payments of duty due to issue of supplementary invoices, I uphold the impugned order holding that interest is payable by the assessee and reject the appeal....
