The following excerpts from the Supreme Court authority would go to make the point clear :- '......THE short question is whether the High Court, in the circumstances of the case. was powerless to enlarge the time, even though it had peremptorily fixed the period for payment... Section 148 of the Code, in terms, allows extension of time, even if the original period fixed has expired, and Section 149 is equally liberal.

Reported in: (1988)LC643Tri(Delhi)

1. This is an appeal against the order of the Collector of Central Excise (Appeals) Bombay.2. Brief facts of the case are that the appellants, manufactured laundry soap and among other forms of the same, they also manufactured soap chips. They were availing of benefit under Notification No. 28/64, dated 1.3.1964 as amended for the reason that they were not using power in the manufacture of the soap. They were however found to have manufactured soap chips with the aid of power and the Revenue raised a duty demand in respect of these chips.

Collector of Central Excise Vs. Sunray Computers (P) Ltd.

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: Dec-17-1987

Reported in: (1989)(22)ECC362

1. The respondents manufacture and sell computers. The dispute in this appeal of the department is whether - should form a part of the value of the computers for purposes of assessment of central excise duty under Section 4 of the Central Excises and Salt Act, 2. The dispute pertains to 5 price-lists of 1983. The respondents filed these price-lists in Part II, separate for each contract of sale. The purchase order itself was Annexed to the price lists and it disclosed the goods and the services to be supplied and the charges therefor.When we saw the price-lists, we found that they were stamped with an un-dated approval endorsement by the Assistant Collector. A doubt arose in our mind whether after having approved the price-lists, net of the software and service charges, the Assistant Collector could re-open the assessment on his own. The learned representative of the department then explained that the sequence of events was not so. He stated that as soon as the respondents filed the p...
