Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: May-28-1998

Reported in: (1998)(102)ELT476TriDel

1. This is an application for restoration of the appeal which was dismissed on 13-1-1998 for default in appearance. The applicants submit that the notice of hearing of the appeal was received by their Bombay office and due to some lack of communication between the Head Office and the local Unit of the applicants at Nagpur, the hearing notice had not reached the Nagpur Unit. Since legal matters of the Nagpur unit were being looked after by the Nagpur office, they pray that the non-appearance was due to non-receipt of the notice from the Bombay office and submitted that the appeal may be considered for restoration by setting aside the dismissal order.2. Learned SDR opposes the application stating that once nonce has been served upon the Bombay office, it is sufficient and, therefore, there is no ground for recalling the dismissal order.3. We have considered the submissions of both sides. We note that the applicants have clearly stated that the legal matters of the Nagpur unit were being...

Decided on: May-28-1998

Both the invoices have been issued by M/s. Tirupati Jute Industries Pvt. Limited, Howrah in the name of M/s. Howrah Mills Co. Ltd., 493, C.G.T. Road, Howrah (South).

The Assistant Collector on the observation that the documents were not in terms of Rule 57G, denied the Modvat and confirmed the demand.The Collector upheld the denial, hence the present appeal.3.

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: May-28-1998

1. Revenue has preferred the captioned appeal on the ground that the invoices issued under Rule 52A could not be issued by the marketing division of IOC, that the marketing Division of IOC refinery is not a manufacturer of excisable goods, the invoices in question could not have been issued by them. The finding of the learned Commissioner (Appeals) is therefore misleading, contrary to facts and beyond truth and deserves to be set aside.2. The facts of the case leading to the present appeal are that the Dy.Commissioner in the order in original passed by him observed "as the Indian Oil Corporation (Marketing Division) Mathura Refinery has not registered themselves as required. M/s. Campher and Allied Products Ltd. procures/ purchases R.F.O. from this unregistered dealer, the marketing division, Indian Oil Corporation, Mathura Refinery.
