1. The Department has filed this Appeal against the order of the Collector (Appeals), New Delhi, dated 11-2-1983. The point at dispute in the present case is whether Aluminium Dross and Skimmings would attract duty under Item 68 of the Central Excise Tariff.

This is an appeal against the order-in-appeal cited above by which the Collector (Appeals) dismissed the appeal of the Electricity Board on the ground that the Board (the appellants) should have appealed against the Assistant Collector's order fixing a formula for computing the consumption of electricity in pump houses for agricultural purposes and not against the order dated 21-4-1981 passed by the Superintendent of Central Excise, Patiala, which, according to the Collector (Appeals), was merely of an implemental nature.2.

Collector of Central Excise Vs. Shetkari Sahakari Sakhar

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: Jul-02-1987

Reported in: (1987)(13)ECC253

1. The dispute in the present appeal turns on interpretation of Central Excise Notification No. 36/76, dated 25-2-1976. Though the respondents were eligible for the benefit of the notification inasmuch as they had completed expansion of the installed capacity of their factory on 28-2-1976 (i.e., on or after 1-11-1975 as laid down in the notification), in reality, they could not avail themselves of the benefit because of the fact that they did not receive in time the Chief Director's (Directorate of Sugar and Vanaspati) certificate entitling them to avail themselves of the duty concession under the said notification. By the time they received the certificate in or about October, 1977, the entire sugar production of the sugar year 1975-76 had been cleared as free sale/levy sugar in the normal ratio of 35 : 65. On this position being brought to the notice of the Chief Director, he informed the respondents by his letter dated 24-12-1977 that as the factory was entitled to the benefit for ...

Indian Aluminium Company Vs. Collector of Central Excise

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: Jul-01-1987

Reported in: (1987)(13)LC461Tri(Delhi)

1. Few assessments have seen so many to-and-fros and up-and-downs like this assessment. It is a long history and began in 1967 with the Assistant Collector telling these manufacturers Indian Aluminium Company to pay duty on their aluminium foil scrap at crude rate i.e.under Central Excise Tariff Heading 27(a)(i). When the appellants asked for refund of the duty that they had paid on the scrap from August, 1965 to November, 1967, they were told that their claim was time barred. Then in November, 1975 they were told to submit a classification list for assessment of the foil scrap under Heading 27(c) as foils. This alarmed the appellants, as well it might, and so they asked for confirmation from the Collector about assessment of the foil scrap as scrap and for this purpose they wrote one or two letters to him seeking instructions on the assessment of the scrap. Eventually in June, 1976, a meeting was held at which it was decided that the aluminium foil scrap was to be charged to duty as ...
