Reported in: (1996)55TTJ(Del)554

ORDERN. S. CHOPRA, A. M. :Both the Revenue as also the assessed are in cross appeals against common order dt. 30th Aug., 1989, of the learned CIT(A) for the two assessment years. These appeals are consolidated and disposed of by this common order for the sake of convenience.2. The only ground of appeal taken by the Revenue is that the learned CIT(A) erred in directing that r. 26 of the IT Rules be applied for the purpose of computing the income of the assessee. The assessed has taken the following additional ground in its Appeal No. 7061 before us, which is linked with the ground taken by the Department :'That the CIT(A) having held that the rate of exchange for conversion should be as on the date of deduction of tax, erred in directing that the same be adopted as on the date of remittance.'Since the above additional ground of appeal taken by the assessed does not require investigation into the facts and is purely legal in nature the same is allowed to be raised.2.1 The relevant facts ...

Decided on: May-10-1996

Reported in: (1996)(87)ELT529TriDel

1. In this appeal filed by M/s. India Plywood Mfg. Co. Ltd., the issue for our consideration is whether when as a consequence of classification, decision in favour of the assessee refund has to be granted, then whether the assessable value has to be re-determined. The goods under consideration were classified under Item No. 16B and duty was paid by the assessee accordingly. Subsequently, it was held that the goods were classifiable under Item No. 68; the assessee filed a refund claim which was paid to them. Subsequently the department alleged that while sanctioning refund, the assessable value should have been re-determined and to the extent of the refund, the excise duty should have been charged and to that extent, refund amount should have been reduced.2. The ld. Collector of Central Excise (Appeals), Madras rejected the appeal of the appellants before him, on the ground that it was not a case of reopening of the assessment but a case of exclusion of excise amount charged by the ass...

1. Both these appeals were filed by M/s. Ashoka Industries being aggrieved with the Order-in-appeal dated 21-3-1985 passed by the Collector of Customs (Appeals), Calcutta.2. The matter relates to the classification of the product which had been described in the document as Brass Tubes. After the goods were assessed to Customs Duty including the countervailing duty under Item 26A of the Central Excise Tariff, the appellants filed a refund claim on the ground that the goods imported were not brass tubes but were brass rods.

The Collector of Customs (Appeals ) after going through the submissions made by the appellants had observed that the appellants had not submitted any evidence/literature in support of their contention that the goods were hollow brass rods.

Decided on: May-10-1996

Reported in: (1997)(93)ELT174TriDel

1. Shri Haja Muhideen, learned JDR at the outset submitted that the Hon'ble Tribunal dismissed their appeal under Final Order No.1007/95-NB on the ground that no one was present when the matter was called.2. The learned JDR submitted that on 2-11-1995 when the above appeal was fixed for hearing the notice for hearing was received on 2-11-1995; that it was not possible to muster additional strength by with drawing departmental representative from other Benches that there was no adequate strength of departmental representatives on that date he therefore prayed that the appeal may be restored.3. Ms. Ginny Bedi, learned Counsel does not object. Heard considered. I find that there is force in what the learned JDR submitted that strength of departmental representatives is very limited and whenever benches are created only a short notice is given. Therefore it is not possible to rearrange the work and also to effectively represent the department. In the circumstances I find that there was su...
