Bakelite Hylam Ltd. and anr. Vs. Collector of Customs and anr.

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: Apr-21-1986

Reported in: (1986)(8)LC59Tri(Delhi)

1. The material in dispute in all these appeals is an article that the department calls a steel plate but which the importers call a mould.The department holds that these steel sheets would be assessable under Chapter 73 as plates of iron or steel, hot-rolled, or cold-rolled, whereas the assessees argued that Chapter 84 is the correct heading for it, because this is a mould and is a part of machinery. The goods that were imported were described variously by the different importers as stainless steel sheets or as flat moulds. At other times, they were described in invoices as stainless steel press plates; they have also been described simply as press plates. However, there is no need to record all the different names which these articles have been given, because one fact is uncontradicted and this is that the goods are flat rectangular pieces of stainless steel whose technical description can be given thus: 2.5 mm thickness, 3110 x 1270 mm length and width, made of martensitic steel, h...

Sarveshwari Gases (P) Ltd. Vs. Collector of Central Excise

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: Apr-21-1986

Reported in: (1986)(8)LC299Tri(Delhi)

1. The appellants cleared compressed oxygen gas. The gas was packed in cylinders belonging to the customers. The lower authorities have held that cost of the cylinder is includible in the assessable value of gas for the purposes of assessment of central excise duty and have confirmed the demand for differential central excise duty on that basis. The appellants are contesting the demand. According to them, they sold only the gas and have, consequently, charged nothing by way of price for the cylinder. The appellants relied on the earlier ruling of the Government of India reported at 1982 E.L.T. 472 (G.O.I., F.B.) and the recently reported Bombay High Court judgment at 1986 (23) E.L.T. 394 (Bom.), Govind Pay Oxygen Ltd. v. Assistant Collector Central Excise, Panaji and Ors.2. The learned representative of the department stated that though the facts and issues involved in the appellants' case are identical with those in the Government of India ruling and the Bombay High Court judgment re...

Reported in: (1988)LC605Tri(Delhi)

1. The appellants filed a refund claim on 1-12-78, some 20 months after the payment of duty. The Assistant Collector rejected it on merits as well as on the ground of time bar (of 6 months) under the erstwhile Rule 11 of the Central Excise Rules, 1944. The appellants received the Assistant Collector's order on 29-3-80. Under the then Section 35 of the Central Excises and Salt Act, 1944, the appellants could file an appeal to the Appellate Collector within three months. The appellants, however, filed the appeal late -on 25-9-80. The Appellate Collector rejected it as being out of time. Aggrieved by this order, the appellants filed a revision application before the Central Government which, on transfer to this Tribunal, is now before us as the subject appeal.2. During the hearing before us, the appellants pressed for only one point : that their subject application to the Central Government was for revision of the Assistant Collector's order and not for revision of the Appellate Collecto...
