Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: May-13-1998

Reported in: (1999)(106)ELT140TriDel

1. The only question arising for consideration is whether the Collector (Appeals) was justified in denying appellant the benefit of SSI Exemption Notification 175/86 and in reversing the order passed by the Assistant Collector which extended the benefit.2.

ORDERK. Ramamoorthy, J.1. The petitioner was appointed as work assistant Engineer (Civil) in the scale of Rs.110-200 in December 1968. Though stated as temporarily appointed, he continued to be in the employment of the respondents. On 23.09.1976, the petitioner was placed under suspension by Vice-Chairman DDA on the ground that the prosecution was launched against the petitioner under Section 302/203 IPC as having been responsible for causing murder of his wife.2.
