Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: Sep-02-1999

Reported in: (2000)(115)ELT114TriDel

1. There is a delay of 42 days in filing the above appeal. The explanation is that the appellant fell ill in the last week of May, 1999 and even later on, due to weakness, he could not file the appeal.The appeal has been filed on 5-8-1999.2. On hearing Shri S.C. Jindal, ld. Advocate and Shri K. Panchat Charan, ld. DR, we are of the view that the applicant's explanation is not satisfactory as we find that the medical certificate produced before us today covers the period commencing from 22-6-1999 which is the last date for filing the appeal, while the application states that the appellant fell sick in the last week of May, 1999. This itself create sufficient doubt as to the explanation about his illness. Since we are not satisfied with the explanation for delay, we decline to condone the delay in filing of the appeal. Hence, the COD application and Stay application are dismissed and as consequence, the appeal itself is dismissed as time barred....

Such contract prices are in respect of bulk consumers like East India Hotels Ltd., Godrej, ITDC and others.

The Revenue authorities observed that the contract prices were much lower than the ex-factory dealer price.

Court: Delhi

Decided on: Sep-02-1999

Reported in: 1999VAD(Delhi)462; 81(1999)DLT500

ORDERVikramjit Sen, J.1. Summons in the suit were eventually served upon the Defendants through publication in the Tribune dated 23.9.1997. It is also carried out by affixation as recorded in the order of the Joint Registrar (O) dated 8.1.1998. Appearance was not entered on behalf of Defendants as envisaged in Order xxxvII Rule 2(3) of the Code of Civil Procedure. As a consequence, in accordance with these provisions, the allegations in the plaint would be deemed to have been admitted and the plaintiff would thereupon be entitled to a decree for any sum, not exceeding the sum mentioned in the summons, together with interest at the rate specified, if any, up to the date of the decree and such sum for costs as may be determined by the Court. The suit should have been decreed at that very stage.2. It appears that this position was not brought to the notice of the Court and thereforee on 9.2.1998 instead of decreeing the suit under Order xxxvII Rule 2(3) ex parte orders were passed against...

Reported in: 1999VIAD(Delhi)671; 1999(51)DRJ509

ORDERVikramajit Sen, J.1. A permanent injunction has been sought for restraining Defendant No. 1, Punjab National Bank (P.N.B.) from making any payment to Defendant No. 3 (M/s. Elconmet Ltd.) under the L.C. The reason for seeking these injunctions is to be found in the prayer clause itself, inasmuch as it is prayed that restraint orders should be effective 'till such time as the defective material supplied by them (Elconmet) to the Plaintiff under the purchase order dated 15.11.1997' is not replaced. The prayer itself, thereforee, succinctly sets out the facts on which the suit is predicated. By way of further adumbration, the Plaint sets out that the Plaintiff had purchased material from Defendant No. 3 for supplying it to the Plaintiff's various customers. In para 8 of the Plaint, it has been averred that 'Defendant No. 3 wrongly mentioned the Lennarts India to be the consignee in respect of the said goods in the G.R. The Defendant No. 3 sent the original G.R. directly to the Plainti...
