Commissioner of Customs Vs. Bombay Shuttle Mfg. Co.

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: Apr-29-1997

Reported in: (1998)(99)ELT295TriDel

1. This Revenue Appeal is directed against order dated 24-10-1989 passed by Collector of Customs (Appeals), Bombay.2. The Respondents imported "Eyes" and sought clearance under Notification No. 181 /87-Customs as component parts of "Auto Shuttles." This claim was rejected on the ground that Eyes are component parts of shuttles which in turn are parts of looms and therefore shuttles are classifiable under CTH 98.06. Even though shuttles figure specifically under C.T.H. 84.48, by virtue of Chapter Note (1) of Chapter 98 these would fell under 98.06. Notification No. 181/87 does not cover the parts of goods falling under C.T.H. 98.06 and since C.T.H. 98.06 is not mentioned in the Table annexed in the Notification 181/87 the benefit of Notification was denied. In Appeal, however, Collector (Appeals) gave relief on the ground that shuttles are accessories and not parts of looms and therefore are not classifiable under Heading 98.06. Since shuttles fall under 84.48 which figures in Table an...

Govt. of N.C.T. of Delhi Vs. Hospital Employees Union, Delhi

Court: Delhi

Decided on: Apr-29-1997

Reported in: (1997)IILLJ516Del

ORDER1. The main point to be considered in this case is whether Section 25-H of the Industrial Disputes Act., 1947 would he applicable or not to the workmen who are not covered by Section 25-F of this Act. The point in issue is indicated in the order dated May 24,1994 wherein the contention noticed is that where the workman has not served for a year, he is not entitled to retrenchment notice and workmen/respondents not having served for one year, they were not entitled to notice of retrenchment on the true import of Section 25. There cannot be any doubt that when workman had not served for a year he would not be entitled to retrenchment notice under Section 25-F of the Act. The question here, however, is different. It is whether a workman not covered by Section 25-F is entitled to or not to the benefit of reemployment under Section 25-H of the Act. This point now stands concluded by a decision of Supreme Court in the case of Central of India v. S. Satyam and Others (1996-II-LLJ-820) ho...

1. Shri Rajesh Jain, ld. Counsel appearing for the appellants submitted that benefit in terms of Notification No. 83/83 has been denied on the ground that the appellants had not filed declaration and obtained prior approval of the department. He contended that non-filing of the declaration could not result in denial of benefit of exemption in terms of notification which was otherwise permissible in the eye of law.
