Court: Delhi

Decided on: Mar-05-1987

Reported in: 1987(1)Crimes842; 32(1987)DLT91; 1988(15)ECC333; 1988(17)LC433(Delhi); 1987(30)ELT900(Del); 1987RLR231

Malik Sharief-Ud-Din, J. (1) The petitioner has invoked the inherent jurisdiction of this Court under Section 482 Cr P.C. for quashing the proceedings pending against him before the Metropolitan Magistrate under Section 135 of the Customs Act. (2) The petitioner stands charged of the aforesaid offence and in pursuance of an application moved by the petitioner under Section 245(2) Cr.P.C. for dropping the proceedings, the learned Magistrate declined to do so on the ground that after charge he has no power to do so. The learned counsel for the petitioner has nothing to say about this order and that is why he has approached this court under Section 482 Cr. P.C. Although I am not sitting as a Revisional Court I must point out that the order of the learned Magistrate in rejecting the application under Section 245(2) Cr. P.C. is quite legal because there is no power vested in the trial court to discharge an accused person after being charged. (3) The facts of the present case are that the ad...

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: Mar-04-1987

Reported in: (1987)(14)ECC75

1. The facts of this case, briefly, stated, are that M/s. R.M.D.C.Press Pvt. Ltd., Bombay (hereinafter referred to as "R.M.D.C." for brevity's sake) were engaged, at the material time, in the manufacture of Printed Cartons and were paying excise duty thereon under item No.68 of the First Schedule (hereinafter the 'CET') to the Central Excises and Salt Act, 1944 (hereinafter, the 'ACT'). However, it appears that they represented to the authorities that printed cartons were products of the printing industry and, as such, were eligible for exemption from duty in terms of Central Excise notification No. 122/75 which exempted inter alia "all products of the printing industry including newspapers and printed periodicals". The Assistant Collector rejected the representation of R.M.D.C. by an order dated 5.7.1978. By this order, he observed that he was not in a position to conclude that R.M.D.C.'s goods were identical to those manufactured by certain other parties in whose cases the appellate...

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: Mar-04-1987

Reported in: (1989)(44)ELT376TriDel

1. M/s. Electrolytic Foils imported aluminium foil on which they paid customs duty, including additional, or countervailing, duty under item 27(c) of the Central Excise Tariff. The learned counsel for the appellants said there are no differences about payment of countervailing duty under item 27(c) of the Central Excise Tariff nor about the thickness of the foil, and we can find none in the records or in the arguments of the learned SDR. The disagreement between the two sides is over the assessment by the Central Excise department of the foils, a second time under the head 27(c) of the Central Excise Tariff for "Foils", because the goods were subjected to etching and other processing, leading the Appellate Collector to say: "hence, I am of the opinion that the etched aluminium foils, which are produced by the electro chemical processing of plain aluminium foils to make then suitable for specific electronic purposes would fall under Tariff Item 27(c) and not under T.I. 68 of the Centra...

Prasad Film Laboratories.Subsequently, the same film was produced in Hindi under the name Purana Purush, in Tamil under the name Kattu Manithan and in Malayalam under the name Silayugathile Sundarigal. 20, U, 15 and 16 prints were taken of the Hindi, Telugu, Tamil and Malayalam version respectively. The respondents paid duty on 19 of the 55 prints and cleared the remaining without payment of duty availing of benefit of duty exemption under notification No. 275/77, dated 12-8-1977. As the Department was of the view that since the 55 prints came from a common negative the action of the respondents in availing of the exemption for each language was not correct. A show cause notice dated 24-8-1978 was issued mentioning that duty was payable in respect of 43 of the prints, duty exemption being available for 12 only. Differ...

Collr. of C. Ex. Vs. Girdharilal Kanchhedilal, Bidi

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: Mar-03-1987

Reported in: (1989)(44)ELT364TriDel

1. In respect of duty paid on 8-3-1979 the respondents Girdharilal Kanchhedilal Bidi Manufacturers preferred a refund claim in respect of set off available to them amounting to Rs. 1,405.40 paise. The claim was rejected by the Assistant Collector on the ground that the same had been received in his office on 15-9-1979, more than six months after the date of the payment of duty. On appeal the said order was set aside by the Appellate Collector under order dated 24-8-1981. The Appellate Collector held that the refund claim was in time since it was governed by the period of limitation of three years prescribed under the common law. In this view he did not go into the contention raised by the respondents that they had preferred the refund claim to the Assistant Collector through the Inspector within five months from the date of payment of duty and hence the Assistant Collector was not right in considering their claim to have been preferred on the date the claim was received in his office....
