1. The question for decision in this appeal is whether coal briquettes produced by the appellants are liable to Central Excise duty and if so under what Tariff item. The appellants converted coal into powder form and added molasses in it as a binding material. These two were mixed in a mixer and passed through a press to form 'Coal Briquettes' which are then dried in drying chambers. According to the appellants neither any chemical nor any other material is added at any stage. The use of the briquettes is stated to be the same as that of coal. The resultant product (briquette), is for use in oven etc. as fuel for domestic and other purposes.2.

Karnataka Electricity Board Vs. Collector of C. Ex.

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: Jul-06-1987

Reported in: (1989)(43)ELT356TriDel

1. The learned counsel, Mr. Sridhar, argued Hvaliantly and with great spirit, but this dispute is not new and is already settled. He argued that the RCC poles were manufactured by different units - each licensed independently of the others. The present unit is licensed in the name of the Executive Engineer of that unit. [In the appeal they speak of 2 units - one at Devangere and another at Chitradurga - of which only one is in the jurisdiction of this Assistant Collector]. Each unit must be taken separately. It is not correct to take the total of all the units in the State. But this does not take into account the fact that licensing focuses on the actual producing division or sub-division. If the licence was in favour of the engineer, that was because he was the applicant: the State Government could have been licensed if it had applied. The argument loses sight of another fact - the poles are not produced for the engineer in charge but are produced for the State Government to be used ...

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: Jul-03-1987

Reported in: (1989)(42)ELT719TriDel

1. M/s Hapjan Purbat Tea Estate had filed the present appeal and E-Appeal No. 925/83-D against order No. 12 & 13/ASM/83 dt. 13-1-1983 of the Collector (Appeals) of Central Excise, Calcutta. The Registry, overlooking this appeal, appears to have called upon the appellants, with reference to their appeal No. 925/83, that they are to file a supplementary appeal since the order-in-appeal had disposed of two appeals. The appellants also, overlooking that they had already filed two appeals, filed a supplementary appeal which had been numbered as E-A.No.1813/87-D. On 13-6-1987, E-A.No. 925/83 and 1813/87-D had been disposed of after hearing the appellants.2. In the circumstances nothing survives for consideration in this appeal since the dispute covered by this appeal has already been disposed of under the earlier order. Accordingly this appeal is dismissed as unnecessary and the Court fee paid on this appeal is directed to be refunded to the appellants....
