1. In the first instance the six applications for condonation of delay were taken up for consideration. The applications relate to filing of the Supplementary Appeals by the Department. The main consolidated appeal of the Department, against the consolidated impugned Order-in-Appeal, was filed within the prescribed time-limit. The learned Advocate of the Respondents did not oppose the applications for condonation of delay. We condoned the delay and took the supplementary appeals on record.2. The Appeals themselves were heard thereafter. On careful consideration of the submissions of both the sides and record, we find the common point of dispute in all the seven appeals is whether Central Excise duty is payable on one per cent or so of Cement Concrete Poles destroyed during the quality control testing within the factory or not.The contention of the Department is that the goods were fully manufactured prior to the testing, they were accounted for as the day's production in the statutory...

Application moved by the appellants with a prayer that the documents in Paper Book No. 2 filed by them at Serial No. 12 to 18 i.e. Pages 19 to 27 of the paper book may be admitted in evidence, although they were not filed before the First Appellate Authority, for the reason that the previous counsel, who appeared before the First Appellate Authority, did not have these papers, which were very relevant to the issue, as the said papers admittedly came into existence subsequently in January, 1983 and thereafter.2.

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: Dec-27-1988

Reported in: (1989)(19)ECC293

1. The central issue, which is common to all the 7 appeals listed above, is whether chrome-plated flush bends manufactured and cleared by the appellants were classifiable under Item 26 A(3) [as pipes and tubes] or under item 68 [as goods not elsewhere specified] of the erstwhile Central Excise Tariff.2. We have heard both sides and have carefully considered the matter.We find that the facts of this case make an interesting reading. The appellants were manufacturing C.P. flush bends right from 1978. They had duly taken out a central excise Hence and had filed classification lists from time to time which had been approved by the Assistant Collector under Item 68 of the Tariff. The appellants went on clearing the goods after paying the duty under Item 68. They also submitted the monthly RT 12 Returns which were duly assessed by the Superintendent of Central Excise under Item 68.
