Modern Trading Co. (Delhi) Pvt. Vs. Collector of Cus.

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: May-27-1996

Reported in: (1998)(101)ELT625TriDel

1. The appellants placed an order for supply of 2000 sets components/sub assemblies for car cassette player, half to be supplied by sea and the remaining half by air. Regarding the goods supplied by sea, the impugned order passed by Assistant Collector shows that the invoice price was treated as C.I. price. We take it therefore that freight element is added to the invoice price to arrive at the assessable value. The present appeal relates to the consignment received by air. The air consignment invoice is not before us. It is not possible to verify whether the air invoice showed C.I.F. price or C.I. price. The assessable value has been arrived at after adding the air freight. Appellant paid the duty demanded and cleared the goods and thereafter submitted refund claim alleging that notional sea freight alone should have been included in the assessable value. The A.C.rejected the claim and so did the Collector (Appeals). Hence, the present appeal.2. The present import was made prior to 1...

The claim for reassessment of toothed tape for lifts manufactured by the importers/appellants under Heading 84.22 against Heading 73.33/40(1) of CTA, 1975 was rejected on the ground that the imported goods are nothing but endless belt of metal which is excluded from Chapter 84 by virtue of Note 1(h) to Section XVI of CTA, 1975.

1. This appeal arises out of the order of the Collector dated 10-6-1987. The issue involved is the classification of "sandwich bonded fabrics" manufactured by M/s. G. Dayaram & Co., Bombay. The learned Collector in upholding the order of the lower authority held that such fabrics were correctly classifiable under the then Tariff Item number 19(III) or 22(3) depending upon the classification of the base fabric.The case of the assessee was that such fabrics at the material time were not covered under the definition of these tariff but would fall under T.I. No. 68. Advocate F. Sorabjee claimed that Tariff Item No.19(III) covered cotton fabrics impregnated, coated or laminated with preparations of cellulose derivatives or of other artificial plastic materials. He claimed that sandwich bonding does not amount to impregnation coating or lamination. Citing from an article from the International Symposium of Bonded Laminated Fabrics held at Washington in 1969, he described the process of ...

A.K. Group and Others Vs. N.K. Group R.K. Group and Others

Court: Delhi

Decided on: May-24-1996

Reported in: 65(1997)DLT688

K. Ramamoorthy, J.1. I heard the learned Counsel for the parties for a considerable length of time because the disputes were between brothers and the widow of one of the brothers, living in different parts of the country. The four brothers originally thought - and one of them dies later that by referring, the disputes to arbitration, the division of properties could be expedited and they can have a peaceful life. But what happened subsequently is really very much disturbing. I thought that arbitration, at any day is better remedy than directly approaching the Civil Court but what was noticed by the court of Appeal in England sometime ago appears to be true 'Many years ago, a top hated old gentleman used to parade outside these Law Courts carrying a placard which bore the stirring injunction 'Arbitrate - don't litigate' I wonder whether the burning enthusiasm of that old gentleman would not have been dampened somewhat, had he survived long enough to learn something about the present cas...
