1. Appellant is absent in spite of notice but has sent written submissions to be considered by us. We have heard Shri T.R. Malik, SDR and perused the papers.2. Appellant is engaged in the manufacture of biscuits, part of which is evidently packed in metal containers. Under Notification No. 34/83 biscuits and other specified products are exempt from so much of duty of excise as is equivalent to duty of excise leviable with reference to that part of the value which represents the cost of metal containers in which the goods are packed at the time of their removal from the factory. The appellant therefore paid duty only on the value of biscuits, excluding the value of the metal boxes. Appellant was also enjoying the benefit of exemption Notification No. 175/86, dated 1-3-1986. Under this notification so far as single product is concerned the limit of duty- free clearances was rupees fifteen lakhs.

Star Paper Mills Ltd. Vs. Collector of Customs

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: Aug-26-1996

Reported in: (1996)(88)ELT284TriDel

1. The refund claim filed by the assessee has been rejected by the Assistant Collector on the ground that the assessee is not entitled to claim exemption in terms of Notification No. 93/85-Cus., dated 17-3-1985.2. Heard Shri M.P. Deb Nath, ld. Advocate for the appellants and Shri G.D. Sharma, ld. JDR for the Revenue.3. On a careful consideration of the submissions made by both sides, we find that Notification No. 93/85-Cus., dated 17-3-1985 exempts paper-making machinery and component part thereof falling under Tariff Item 84.31 as per S. No. 15 of the relevant notification. In the instant case the appellants have imported Rotor and Shaft which was claimed as parts of Raphinator classifiable under Heading 84.31 read with Notification No. 93/85 as paper-making machinery. It was fairly conceded by the ld. Advocate for the appellants that item imported by the appellants can be used for pulp cutting and not for paper-making machinery. We find that since the notification exempts only paper...

This appeal was filed on 13th December, 1993 and the same was listed as RSA No. 132/93. Along with this appeal, the present application under Section 5 of the Limitation Act had been filed.2. DDA in this application has tried to assign reasons for delay in filing the appeal. Those reasons can be summarised and sum up in two parts -- one dealing with the delay which can be attributed to the panel lawyer Mr. Alok Kumar, who took almost a year in sending the certified copy of the judgment and decree sheet. Second set of delay is on account of red-tapism in taking official decision and in official movement of the file.3. From 24th August, 1992 when judgment was delivered, according to DDA till 28th April, 1993 certified copy of the judgment/decree sheet was not sent by the panel lawyer. After his removal from...
