Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: Aug-18-1983

Reported in: (1983)LC2231DTri(Delhi)

1. This is an appeal filed by the appellants against the Order-in-Appeal No. C-408/B1I-86/83 dated 4.3.83 passed by the Collector of Central Excise (Appeals), Bombay.2. Two issues are involved in this case. One is whether the order of the Assistant Collector demanding duty on 'Chromic Acid1 manufactured by the appellants on job work basis is time-barred or not. The second issue is whether a duty can be levied on chromic acid manufactured by the appellants on job work basis; 3. Shri Habbu, on behalf of the appellants, stated that the demand for duty was clearly time-barred under Section 11A of the Central Excises and Salt Act, 1944, which provides that the demand for duty alleged to have been short-levied can only relate to six months prior to\the date of demand and such a period can be extended to five years only where the assessee was guilty of collusion, fraud or suppression or mis-statement of facts.

Poonam Trading Co. Vs. Collector of Central Excise

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: Aug-18-1983

Reported in: (1983)LC1362DTri(Delhi)

1. These two appeals involve a common point at issue and relate to the same appellants and they were, therefore, taken up for consideration together.2. The short point involved in these appeals is whether sub-merged arc welding wires and CO2 wires are classifiable under item 50 of the Central Excise Tariff which covers "welding electrodes, all sorts". The lower authorities held that item 50 covered these wires and since the appellants were found manufacturing and clearing these wires without taking out a Central Excise licence, and without payment of duty, they were subjected to penalty and confiscation of their goods. Duty on the goods cleared by them was also demanded from the appellants.3. The appellants' plea is that in trade parlance their wires, which are nothing but copper coated steel wires, are not known as electrodes, that their wires could not be called electrodes since no electric current passes through them, that their wires were only a welding media and not electrodes, t...

Ganeshdas Kayan and Sons Textiles Vs. Collector of Central Excise

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: Aug-18-1983

Reported in: (1983)LC1354DTri(Delhi)

1. In this case, the first appeal of the appellants was rejected by the Central Board of Excise and Customs as time-barred on the ground that it was filed after the period of three months laid down in Section 35 of the Central Excises & Salt Act, 1944, as then existing. The Order-in Original was received by the appellants on 10 4.1981 while their appeal before the Beard had been filed only on 13.7.1981. The appellants do not dispute these dates. Their pleas are three-fold : (1) The first appeal was not time-barred as the demand for duty pursuant to the Order-in-Original was sent to the appellants on 19/ 20-5-1981. In such a case the time-limit for filing the appeal ought to be counted from the date of communication of the duty demand. For this, the appellants relied on Govt. of India's Order-in-Revision reported at 1980 ELT-786. The appellants argued that the present appeal had been filed as a revision application before the Central Govt. and had it been disposed of by the Central...

1.

1.This is a revision application filed by the appellants before the Central Government which is now transferred to the Appellate Tribunal under Sub-section (2) of Section 35P of the Central Excises and Salt Act, 1944.2. The issue involved in this appeal is whether the "Aqueous solution of Phenol Formaldehyde", called as "Novastik", manufactured by the appellants would fall under tariff item No. 15A of the Central Excises and Salt Act, 1944 or not. The Appellate Collector had held that the said product, even if it is in the form of aqueous solution, would be covered by tariff item No. 15A as that item includes artificial or synthetic resins in any form. Aggrieved by this order the appellants are before us.3. On behalf of the appellants, Shri J.J. Bhatt, the learned advocate, contended that prior to 1-3-1982, the words "solutions and dispersions of synthetic resins" did not appear in the tariff item 15A as it stood at that time.
