Shri V.C. Bhalla Vs. Collector of Customs

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: Aug-23-1983

Reported in: (1983)LC2045DTri(Delhi)

1. In this appeal under Section 129-A of the Customs Act, 1962, it would appear that (a) the Appellant was continuously residing in London from 19.12.79" to 11.7.82; (C) he claimed the benefit of exemption under the T.R. Rules in respect of the following (d) in adjudication, it was only item 5-6 supra that were given the benefit of exemption claimed: (e) in appeal, the Collector of Customs (Appeals) extended the benefit of exemption for item 2-4 supra as well; (f) the subject matter of the instant appeal is thus item I only, namely, the two air-conditioners; (g) while the adjudicating officer had held that they were "brand newnot used", the Appellate Collector would appear to have preceded to hold that notwithstanding their purchase on 15.12.80, the appellant's contention of having used them is not plausible because England is a cold country where centrally heated accommodation is provided and there is hardly any scope for using the articles in question. The claim for use for nearly t...

Lieutenant Governor and ors. Vs. Jagdish Chand Kardam and ors.

Court: Delhi

Decided on: Aug-23-1983

Reported in: 24(1983)DLT312

Prakash Narain, C.J.(1) Only one point arises for determination in this appeal under Clause 10 of the Letters Patent as applicable to this Court. The point is whether schedule castes constitute a minority within the meaning of Article 30 of the Constitution.(2) The learned Single Judge has observed in his judgment under appeal that, 'Admittedly it is a minority educational institution of the schedule classes' while giving a resume of facts in the earlier part of his judgment. How the learned Single Judge got this impression is not very clear. It seems that though a return was filed on behalf of respondent No. 2, by an affidavit sworn by Shri Lal Chand, Secretary of the Baba Saheb Ambedkar Higher Secondary School, no appearance was put in at the time when the writ petition was heard by the learned Single Judge. Be it as it may, we have to construe the provisions of the Constitution. Respectfully we must observe that the provision of the Constitution as such was not construed by the lear...

Decided on: Aug-22-1983

Reported in: (1983)LC1854DTri(Delhi)

1. This is an appeal against the order dated 18-1-1983 of the Collector of Central Excise (Appeals) Bombay, in which he has held that the "glass lumps" produced in the appellants' factory were dutiable under Item 23A of the Central Excise Tariff and that they should take out a manufacturing licence accordingly.2.

During the process, the appellants drain the glass tank of surplus molten glass which forms into lumps when drained and sprinkled with water. This is the substance referred to as "glass lumps", whose classification is at issue. These glass lumps are further crushed into pieces of powd...

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: Aug-22-1983

Reported in: (1983)LC1359DTri(Delhi)

1. The impugned order-in-appeal was a combined order passed by the Appellate Collector in respect of two orders in original bearing Nos.114/81 dated 23-10-81 and 117/81 dated 31-10-81: The appellants, however, filed only one appeal.

The appellants were directed to file a supplementary appeal in relation to the other order in original by 26-8-1983.2. So far as the present appeal is concerned, the facts in brief are that the appellants manufacture certain components of drafting mechanism of ring frames or inter frames.

Punj Sons P. Ltd. Vs. Collector of Central Excise

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: Aug-22-1983

Reported in: (1983)LC1928DTri(Delhi)

1. The short point involved in this appeal is whether Slagwool was classifiable under item 18 of the Central Excise Tariff which at the material time covered rayon and synthetic fibres and yarn.2. The appellants are aggrieved against the demand for duty of Rs. 6,800/- in respect of the Slagwool cleared by them from 1-5-73 to 3-5-73. Slagwool was exempt from payment of duty by virtue of an exemption notification before 30-4-73. However, a fresh notification No. 115/73-C.E. issued on that date withdrew the earlier full exemption and laid down a concessional rate of duty for Slagwool. The appellants cleared some quantity of Slagwool from 1 -5-73 to 3-5-73 without payment of duty. The appellants' main plea is that Slagwool was not covered by the Tariff Entry No. 18 itself and the exemption notification No. 115/73-C.E. could not reverse this position. They were heard at length by us on 1-8-1983. They put forth their arguments as under:- (1) Slagwool is manufactured from the waste product c...

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: Aug-19-1983

Reported in: (1983)(14)ELT1790TriDel

1. As common question of law and fact is involved in Appeal Nos. CD (SB) (T) 1/56, 2/56 and 3/56, they will, therefore, be disposed of by this one common judgment.2. M/s. Bharat Marble Company, M/s. Bharat Mineral Industries and M/s.Gopal Dass Saksaria, three different firms filed three shipping bills No. 457, 458 and 459 for exporting Sesame Cake (Gingelly Cake) and the weight of each consignment was 99 tons odd. The No. of bags in each shipment was 1426 and the weight of each bag as indicated therein was 160 Lbs. gross. The Customs authorities had reasons to believe that the declarations in the shipping bills concerning the above mentioned consignment were not correct and that the samples were drawn from the goods sought to be exported and were found to be of groundnut oil cakes which were assessable at a much higher rate of duty than that given in the case as declared in the shipping bills. It was further found that each bag weighed 200 Lbs. It was thus found that there was misdecl...
