Kali Aerated Water Works (Madurai) Vs. Commissioner of Central Excise, ...

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Chennai

Decided on: Feb-01-2011

Per Jyoti Balasundaram The above appeals involve a common issue viz. benefit of exemption from payment of duty in terms of Sl.No.15 of the Table to Notification No.6/2002-CE dt. 1.3.2002 to aerated waters (Bovonto quality) supplied by the assessees to vending machines covering different periods, and are hence heard together and disposed of by this common order. 2. We have heard both sides. Sl.No.15 of the Table to the notification covers ‘aerated waters prepared and dispensed by vending machines’. The claim to the benefit is made on what is supplied in canisters to the vending machines in which Carbondioxide is added and aerated water comes into existence and is dispensed through the vending machines. In the light of the clear language of Sl.No.15, assessees have no case for exemption for the goods supplied to the vending machines which is nothing but soft drink concentrate.

M/S. Madhav Marbles and Granites Mills Ltd. Vs. Cce, Salem

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Chennai

Decided on: Feb-01-2011

Per: Dr. Chittaranjan Satapathy, 1. Heard both sides. 2. Shri M. Karthikeyan, Ld. Advocate, appearing for the appellants states that the appellants have borne the incidence of duty themselves and this has been demonstrated before the lower appellate authority by producing copies of the invoices, which shows that the appellants have not changed the price during the periods they were paying lesser and higher duty. He states that when the price is not varied, the bar of unjust enrichment is not attracted as per the ratio of the decision of the Hon’ble Calcutta High Court in the case of CCE, Calcutta-III Vs. Panihati Rubber Ltd. - 2004 (172) ELT 310 (Cal.).3. However, we find that a three judges Bench of the Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of CCE, Mumbai-II Vs. Allied Photographics India Ltd. - 2004 (116) ELT 3 (S.C.), has held that uniformity in price does not lead to inevitable conclusion that the incidence of duty has not been passed on to the buyer as such uniformity may ...
