Reported in: 1997(41)DRJ514

Usha Mehra, J. (1) In this appeal the only short point taken by the appellant is that he had been denied the protection under Section 14(2) of the Delhi Rent Control Act (in short the Act).

Orient Steel Industries Ltd. Vs. Collector of C. Ex.

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: Mar-13-1997

Reported in: (1999)(107)ELT728TriDel

1. The Dy. Collector in the order-in-original has held that Firstly the party has not mentioned the correct measurement i.e. 'having width more than 600 mm and above', secondly the chapter heading is given as 7220.20. The description of the goods under sub-heading 7220.20 is 'flat rolled products of stainless steel of width of less than 600 mm not further worked than cold rolled'. It means the goods falling under this sub-heading should have width of less than 600 mm. It is therefore, quite clear that the inputs on which the modvat credit has been availed by the party are certainly CR coils having width of more than 600 mm and they should have been classified under sub-heading 7209 and not under 7220.20. The only mistake in the declaration filed by the party is that the correct sub-heading has not been mentioned. He therefore, dropped the demand of Rs. 1,65,310.39 against the appellants. On review of this order, an appeal was filed before the ld.Collr. (Appeals) who in his order held ...

Collector of Customs Vs. Mistry Prabhudas Manji

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: Mar-13-1997

Reported in: (1997)(93)ELT197TriDel

1. The short question that falls for determination in this appeal is correct classification of 'Seamless Tubes'. The question is whether such tubes fall under CTH 7304.39 or as parts of heat exchanger under 8419.50 with benefit of Notification No. 155/86.2. Arguing for the Revenue, the Learned DR submits that even when such tubes are specifically designed for heat exchanger, they will remains classifiable under Chapter 73. In this connection, our attention has been drawn to Tribunal's Final Order No. C/74-75/97-B2, dated 4-12-1996 reported in 1997 (91) E.L.T. 112 (Tribunal).5. HSN notes under Heading 73.04 clearly indicate that the products of this heading include in particular among others tubes and pipes suitable for use in heat exchangers. In view of this, since the impugned goods are not covered under Chapter 84, they would not be eligible to exemption under Notification No. 155/86. We therefore, set aside the impugned order and allow the Revenue appeal....
