Collector of Central Excise Vs. Indian Aluminium Co. Ltd.

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: May-22-1987

Reported in: (1990)(46)ELT437TriDel

1. On hearing both sides, we observe that the aluminium circles returned to the respondents factory under Rule 173L were not in Opened Packages. We find it recorded in the impugned order-in-appeal that the said circles had in the first instance been cleared in loose condition only and they were received back in the factory in the same condition.It is not a case where the goods were cleared in packages but were returned in opened packages. Secondly, we find that the exemption Notification 43/75-CE dated. 1-3-1975 fixed concessional rate of duty for aluminium circles for all producers. There does not appear to have been a further concessional rate for small scale sector or cottage sector of the industry. In the circumstances, we find that the provision of Rule 173L (3) (i) did not come in the way of respondents getting the refund under that Rule.2. In the consequence, we can find no fault with the impugned order-in-appeal. This appeal is, therefore, dismissed....

Ashok Leyland Limited Vs. Collector of C. Ex.

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: May-21-1987

Reported in: (1989)(44)ELT343TriDel

1. The learned Counsel for M/s. Ashok Leyland Mr. Sridharan argued vehemently that there had not been any removal of goods from the Chapter X premises to their spare parts and other manufacturing division. The goods were all available in the factory's premises and it would be possible for them to segregate the Chapter X procedure goods from the non-Chapter X goods if sufficient time was given. He argued also that the goods had not been removed out of the factory and duty does not become payable on the Chapter X goods until they are removed from the factory. On this point alone the order of the Collector of Central Excise, Madras dated 17-12-1982 must be set aside. At the most there may have been certain confusion or mix-up because it is a very large factory and such mix-ups do occur from time to time in spite of their best efforts to prevent them; but it cannot be claimed as the Collector did that they had removed the goods in a deliberate manner, with the intention of evading duty.
