1. This writ throws a challenge to the award, dated 24 May 1986, given by Sri O. P. Dwivedi, Industrial Tribunal, Delhi, which award was published in the Gazette, dated 3 July 1986. 2. The petitioner is the Co-operative Store, Ltd, and is running a super bazar. The respondent Sri Ved Prakash Bhambri, was employed as cashier with the petitioner since 1966. The services of Ved Prakash Bhambri as well as of some other employees were terminated with effect from 1 May, 1976, on the ground that their services were no longer required by the petitioner. Subsequently, almost all other employees were taken back in service. However the respondent Ved Prakash Bhambri, allegedly was not taken back as he had moved an application, dated 6 October 1976, addressed to the Accounts Officers stating that he was to go out of India as he had secured a passport and he requested that his provident fund case be forwarded to the Provident Fund Commissioner for necessary action. It appears that the respondent Ve...

Court: Delhi

Decided on: Apr-19-1988

Reported in: 35(1988)DLT145

Malik Sarief-Ud-Din, J.

The detention order was passed under section 3(1) of the Cofeposa Act on 24th March 1987 by the Joint Secretary to the Government of India Mr. Tarun Roy and was with a view to preventing the petitioner from smuggling goods. This followed an incident dated 16th of February 1987 when the detenu while traveling from Hongkong to Calcutta via Bangkok was found in possession of foreign made smuggled gold. It may be made clear at this stage that the petitioner has already undergone the period of detention under section 3(1) of the COFEPOSA. Act though he continues to be in detention by virtue of declaration under section 9(1) of the said Act. It is in these circumstances that Mr. Herjinder Singh, learned counsel for the...

Decided on: Apr-18-1988

Reported in: (1988)(17)LC239Tri(Delhi)

1. Smt. V. Zutshi, Departmental Representative for the appellants and Shri D.N. Kohli, Consultant for the respondents heard and papers perused. (1) that the so-called appeal is hopeleessly barred by limitation, the impugned order having been communicated to the Collector of Central Excise, Meerut in June 1982 and appeal having been presented on 26th March, 1984. Taking into consideration the Customs, Central Excise & Gold (Control) Removal of Difficulties Order, 1982, the period of limitation expired sometime in December, 1982. The appeal filed on 26th March, 1984 is thus barred by limitation by nearly one year and three months for which there is no satisfactory explanation. (2) that Collector of Central Excise, Meerut is not an aggrieved person within the meaning of Section 35B(2) of Central Excises & Salt Act, 1944 and therefore, the present appeal deserves to be dismissed as not maintainable.

industrial Coatings and Waxes (P) Vs. Collector of Central Excise

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: Apr-18-1988

Reported in: (1988)(17)ECC172

1. The main question for decision in this appeal by the manufacturer-assessee is their eligibility to benefit of exemption under notification 71/78-CE dated 1-3-1978 as amended by notification 141/79 dated 30-3-1979.2. The appellants are a small scale manufacturer of printing inks, hot melts, reducers and retarders falling under TI 68 and varnishes falling under 14-II(i) of CET. The period in dispute originally related to 1-4-1979 to 5-9-1979. Printing inks and hot melts falling under item 68 were exempt from payment of the whole of the duty under notification 89/79-CE dated 1-3-1979. Reducers and retarders falling under item 68 were made without the aid of power and were thus exempt from payment of duty under notification 179/77 dated 18-6-1977. Notification 71/78-CE dated 1-3-1978 under which the appellants claim exemption in respect of varnishes exemption is granted in respect of the first clearances of excisable goods as specified in the notification cleared for home consumption u...

Kelvinator of India Ltd. Vs. Collector of Customs

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: Apr-18-1988

Reported in: (1988)(17)LC414Tri(Delhi)

1. The appellants are aggrieved because their refund claim has been rejected as time-barred under Section 27(1) of the Customs Act, 1962.2. On hearing both sides and on perusal of the record, we find that the imported goods were originally cleared on payment of Customs Duty on 26.10.1982. There was an exemption notification in force at the material time which fixed a concessional rate duty. It seems that neither the appellants nor the customs assessing officer realised the existence of the notification or its applicability to the imported goods at the time of assessment. On 26.4.1983, i.e., almost after 6 months, the audit department of the Custom House informed the appellants that the notification could apply and that it was open to them to file a claim for refund. Thereupon, the appellants filed a refund claim on 29.4.1983. The claim so filed was obviously beyond the time limit of six months as laid down in Section 27(1) and both the lower authorities have rejected the claim on that...
