Decided on: Oct-14-1987

Reported in: (1989)(42)ELT122TriDel

1. The question for decision in this appeal by Collector of Customs, Madras is classification of Synthetic Resin in film form (Redux 775 film) for the purpose of additional duty under Central Excise Tariff- whether it falls under Tariff Item 15A(2) as an article of plastic as claimed by Revenue or as a raw material as under Tariff Item 15A as claimed by the importer-respondent. The Collector (Appeals) found in favour of the respondents. Hence this appeal by Revenue to the Tribunal.2. At the hearing to-day, we have heard Smt. J.K. Chander, Departmental Representative for the appellant and Shri S. Ganeshan, Assistant Liaison officer for the respondent. We have also been shown the relevant Bill of Entry and have gone through the Central Excise Tariff as it stood at the material time.

Court: Delhi

Decided on: Oct-14-1987

Reported in: 35(1988)DLT122

Sunanda Bhandare, J. (1) This petition under Article 227 of the Constitution of India is directed against the order of the Additional District Magistrate, Delhi dated 31st May 1972 whereby the learned Judge accepted the appeal filed by the petitioner and set aside the assessment made by the respondent for the assessment year 1969-70 but fixed the annual value of the property in question at Rs. 5000.00. (2) The main point taken by petitioner in the petition is that since the annual value for the assessment years 1967-68 and 1968-69 for the out-house in property no. 4 Tolstoy Marg, New Delhi had already been fixed at Rs. 270.00 the Additional District Magistrate while allowing the appeal could not enhance it to Rs. 5000.00.
