Harig India Ltd. Vs. Collector of Central Excise

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: Jan-27-1988

Reported in: (1988)(16)ECC156

1. The bench first took up the application for condonation of the delay in filing supplementary appeal No. 3404/87-B1 and condoned it.2. The learned Counsel's only argument was that the date of payment of the duty was during the currency of old Rule 11 of the Central Excise Rules, when the limitation was one year. If this limitation is applied, their refund claim would be in time. Furthermore the payment of the duty was under orders of the officers. It is, therefore, necessary to apply the old rule to their case and to overrule the judgment of the lower authorities holding their claims for refund were time barred. In fact, said the learned Counsel, there is no time limit for their claim, because they paid the moneys because of the decision of the departmental officers. They contested the assessment of the goods at all times, but the departmental officers paid no heed to them. They were entitled to receive back their money regardless of any time limit or any other consideration. The co...

Collector of Customs Vs. Mysore Electrical Industries

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: Jan-21-1988

Reported in: (1989)(43)ELT698TriDel

1. These four appeals involve a common issue, namely, whether tubes made out of vacuum impregnated glass cloth and reinforced with expoxy, imported by the respondents, were liable to be charged to additional duty of customs equivalent to the Central Exise Duty leviable under Item 22F of the Central Excise Tariff Schedule (CET for short). While the Asstt. Collector of Customs, Madras, held that additional duty of customs was chargeable, the Appellate Col- lector of Customs, Madras, thought otherwise. On perusal of the Appellate Collector's orders, the Central Government, for the reasons set out in its show cause notice (F. No. 380/110 and 123/81-Cus. II, dated 18-9-1981) issued to the respondents under Section 131(3) of the Customs Act (as it stood then) formed a tentative view that the Appellate Collector's orders were not correct in law. The reasons for this view were set out in the notice as follows :- "The Appellate Collector while relying on Section 3(3) of CTA 75 appears to have ...

The Himalayan Co-operative Milk Vs. Collector of Central Excise

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: Jan-21-1988

Reported in: (1988)(34)ELT379TriDel

1. Since both the appeals involve common questions of fact and law, a common order is being passed.2. Brief facts of the matters are that the appellants set up liquid nitrogen plant in a dairy complex where butter and skimmed milk powder falling under 1C and 1B respectively of CET are manufactured. Liquid nitrogen is classifiable under Tariff Item 68. The appellants' case is that since the production and clearance of liquid nitrogen falls well below the exemption limit of Rs. 30 lakhs in a financial year they are not liable to pay any duty in terms of Notification 105/80, dated 19-6-1980. That exemption, however, is subject to a certain condition namely that "the officer not below the rank of an Assistant Collector of Central Excise is satisfied that the sum total of the value of the capital investment made from time to time on plant and machinery installed in the industrial unit in which the said goods, under clearance, are manufactured is not more than Rs. 10 lakhs".The impugned ord...
