Pontoons, says that Appellant Collector, are flat bottomed boats used as supports for temporary bridges. They are also used as ferry boats for crossing rivers.2. In his order, the Collector Appeals noted that sailing vessels, trawlers, fishing vessels etc. have been categorised as ocean going vessels.

Decided on: Jun-29-1987

Reported in: (1987)23ITD498(Delhi)

1. This appeal by the assessee is directed against the order of the CIT (A)-I, New Del hi dated 23-3-85 relating to assessment year 1977-78. We have heard the parties and we proceed to dispose of the grounds in appeal seriatum as under, which is being done after very careful consideration of the rival submissions of the facts on record.2. Ground No. 1 regarding the legality of the fresh assessment was withdrawn with our permission. This, therefore, goes out of our consideration in so far as its determination on merits is concerned. It is dismissed as such.3. In ground No. 2, the grievance of the assessee is that the 1d.CIT(A) erred in law in not giving any clear finding in respect of the system of accounting regularly employed by the assessee. We find that the assessee had taken ground No. 2 before the 1d. CIT(A) to project that the authorities below were not justified both on facts and in law in not following the system of accounting of the appellant. We find that this dispute about ...

Rajanarayan and Co. Vs. Collector of Central Excise

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: Jun-26-1987

Reported in: (1987)(12)LC984Tri(Delhi)

1. Show cause notice dated 18.4.1980 had been issued to the appellants M/s. Rajanarayan & Co. to show cause why duty short paid by them in respect of the cellulosic spun yarn manufactured and removed by them during the period 28.1.1980 to 12.2.1980 should not be recovered from them. This was on the basis that on test of the sample of the yarn drawn on 28.1.1980 at it was found that as against the 31 count declared by the appellants the count was 60.2. It was pointed out that therefore duty paid at the lower rate was not proper. On subsequent sample being drawn on 12.2.1980 the count of the yarn was found to be 31 and it was for that reason that the demand for short levied duty was confined to the period 28.1.1980 to 12.2.1980. The appellants replied that their manufacture has always been of yarn of count 30 and never of yarn of count 60 and therefore the demand was incorrect. The Assistant Collector rejected the said defence and confirmed the demand. This was upheld by the Appella...
