K. Mohan and Company (Exports) Vs. Collector of Customs

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: Jun-17-1987

Reported in: (1989)(42)ELT468TriDel

1. The question before the Tribunal in this appeal is the classification of "Hand Operated Knitting Machines with Punch Cards -Model 840". The Custom House assessed the goods under Heading 84.37(2) CTA. The appellants claim assessment of the same under Heading 84.37(1) CTA. The Customs considered that the imported goods were not domestic machines whereas the appellants claim that the goods are "other than domestic machines".2. The question, therefore, could be simplified into whether the imported goods are domestic knitting machines or not. Shri M.G. Abrol, the learned Consultant for the appellants argued that the imported goods cannot be considered as domestic machines.3. Reference was made, by both sides, during the course of arguments, to an earlier judgment of the Tribunal in 1985 (22) ELT 115 (C.C., Bombay v. Simac Group (India) Pvt. Ltd., Bombay in support of their respective claims. We have perused this judgment but do not propose to refer to it extensively as another knitting ...

Decided on: Jun-16-1987

Reported in: (1989)(41)ELT655TriDel

1. After hearing both sides briefly and on examination of the record, we find that the subject appeal of the department has been signed and submitted by a Superintendent of Central Excise whereas the authorisation of the Collector of Central Excise, Madras to file the appeal against the impugned order-in-appear was in favour of the Assistant Collector of Central Excise (Judicial), Madras. Consequently, the appeal, having not been signed and filed by a duly authorised officer of the Collector, is not a competent appeal. We dismiss it as such....

Collector of Central Excise (Appeals), New Delhi by his order dated 28-9-1983 rejected and dismissed the appeal of the appellants filed before him by observing that the appellants have filed the petition with reference to a series of correspondence exchanged with the local authorities.

Alcobex Metals Pvt. Ltd. Vs. Collector of C. Ex.

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: Jun-16-1987

Reported in: (1990)(45)ELT325TriDel

1. A counter part of this appeal was decided by us in our order No.485/86-B1, dated 5-8-1986. This present appeal is with respect to the refund claim that arose from the same dispute of classification that was the subject of our previous order.2. The learned counsel for M/s Alcobex, Mr. Lakshmi Kumaran, began by saying that he would only like to point out an error in the Tribunal's order. At paragraph 6, the order reads that hollow rods and hollow bars were unknown in metallurgy though hollow sections were well known. To contradict this, he referred to Chapter 74 of the Harmonised Systems Customs Tariff in which hollow bars of copper are specifically entered in entry 74.07/08. He also referred to the Indian Standard Glossary of Terms for copper and copper alloys PART I -- Cast Form and Wrought Form Main Types (second revision) - IS; 3288 (Part I) -1981. This standard defines hollow rod at 3.11 as a "round hollow product, the cross-section of which completely encloses a void or voids a...

1. By the impugned order, the Appellate Collector dismissed the appellants' claim for assessment of the imported parts of heat exchanger made of "Karbate 22" material under Heading No. 84.17 of the First Schedule to the Customs Tariff Act, 1975 and upheld the classification confirmed by the Assistant Collector under Heading No.68.01/16 of the Schedule. The reason given was that though the subject goods were parts of heat exchanger, they were excluded from Chapter 84 being articles of carbon falling within Chapter 68.2. We have heard Shri K.K. Kapoor, Consultant for the appellants and Shri K.C. Sachar, D.R. for the respondent.3. At the outset, Shri Kapoor drew our attention to two decisions of this Tribunal having a bearing on the present dispute. The first is in Sawrashtra Chemicals v. Collector of Customs, Bombay, 1983 E.L.T. 1182 wherein, by a majority, the Tribunal held that carbon rings, admittedly parts of machinery, are classifiable under Heading No. 84.65 as "parts of machinery...
