Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: Feb-08-1988

Reported in: (1989)(19)ECC263

1. A common issue is involved in these three appeals and as such they were heard together and are being disposed of by this common order. All these three appellants imported Metalised polyester films of thickness of 0.025 mm/25 micron. The question to be decided is whether these goods are exempted from additional duty of Customs under Notification No. 228/76-Cus., dated 2-8-1976. The Collector (Appeals), by the impugned order, held that those imported Metalized polyester films were foils and did not qualify for exemption under this Notification.2. We have heard Shri Sogani for the appellants and Shri Shishir Kumar for the respondent. Shri Sogani has argued that all these three cases are squarely covered by this Tribunal's order No. 257-258/87-C, dated 25-3-1987 and the judgments of (i) Madras High Court in the case of M/s.

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: Feb-08-1988

Reported in: (1988)(16)ECC19

1. This is a Revenue's appeal against the impugned order which allowed the appeal by the respondents and held that for the purpose of Notification No. 198/76 the word "Fan" included regulators also. The Collector of Central Excise (Appeals) thereby extended the benefit of exemption notification to the respondents.2. The Asstt. Collector in his order held that strictly going by the words in the Notification No. 198/76 the regulators cleared by the respondents were not covered by Serial No. 32 in the table contained in the notification. Therefore, according to him the concessional rate of duty which applied to "Electric fans all sorts" did not extend to the regulators. According to the appellate order the change made by the Finance Act of 1977 to Item No. 33(D) CET rendered the regulators eligible to the concession.3. Shri Nigam, the Learned SDR argued that Notification No. 198/76 mentioned, at Serial No. 32, "Electric Fans all sorts" only. The change in Tarif Item No. 33 brought about ...

1. The appellants imported a consignment of tractor parts, viz.; piston rings, crankshaft assembly and bushes. They sought to clear the goods against an Import Licence which was specific for 'spares for agricultural machinery'.

Holiday Inn Vs. Collector of Customs

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: Feb-05-1988

Reported in: (1989)(39)ELT417TriDel

1. The appeal is against the order No. S/49-827/82-R dated 7.12.1982 passed by the Collector of Customs (Appeals), Bombay and the dispute is about a dish washing machine imported by M/s. Holiday Inn. The appellants did not appear on the date fixed for hearing 13.1.1988. By a letter dated 8.1.1988, they asked for the appeal to be decided on merits.2. The appellants say that the dish washing machine was imported for the use of their hotel and not for domestic purposes, and it is being used in their hotel for bulk washing. The very nature, weight, size and cost of the machine proves that it would not be suitable for domestic or household purposes. A dish washing machine classifiable under Item 33-C would be small in size and suitable for household purposes or for hotel canteens. The word "similar" used in Tariff Item 33-C should be strictly construed to mean that only dish washing machines capable of being used in households are assessable under it. The large-sized dish washing machine c...

Since we feel that the appeal could be disposed of on the materials available on record without summoning any further records, we dismiss the petition.2.
