Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: May-16-1991

Reported in: (1991)(56)ELT879TriDel

This appeal has been filed against the decision of the Collector of Customs (Appeals), Bombay accepting the plea of the respondents herein that wearing rings used in absorption refrigeration machine made of graphite were classifiable under Chapter Heading 84.12 of the Customs Tariff Act, 1975.

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: May-16-1991

Reported in: (1992)(57)ELT161TriDel

1. These twelve appeals arise out of the Order-in-Original No. 263/89 dated 6-11-1989 passed by the Additional Collector of Customs, New Delhi.2. At the outset the preliminary issue was raised in all these cases on point of jurisdiction. Their contention is that the goods were imported at Bombay Customs against a licence produced at the time of clearance and the goods were cleared after examination. Since the goods were assessed on payment of Customs duty at Bombay by following the order of assessment under Section 47 of the Customs Act, 1962 duly passed by the Assistant Collector of Customs, Bombay, apparently after satisfying himself, the Delhi Collector had no jurisdiction to adjudicate the proceedings in respect of the goods cleared at Bombay Custom House.3. The contention of the Department is that the Delhi Collector has jurisdiction since the goods were cleared fraudulently at Bombay Customs. According to Department, M/s. Casino Electronics (P) Ltd. (2nd appellant) and its Direc...
