Cce Vs. Bhabani Pigments Pvt. Ltd.

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: Apr-16-2002

Reported in: (2002)(103)LC897Tri(Delhi)

1. This is an appeal filed by the department against the order of the Commissioner (Appeals) dated 31.3.2000.3. On a careful scrutiny of the records, I find that the jurisdictional Commissioner of Central Excise, in his authorisation issued to the Supdt. of Central Excise for filing this appeal, has neither examined the question whether the impugned order is proper or not, nor disclosed the grounds for holding the said order to be "not correct and legal." A Larger Bench of this Tribunal has, in CCE, Mumbai v. Bombay Switchgear , held that formation of opinion by the Collector/Commissioner that the order against which appeal is to be filed is not legal or proper should be reflected in the order authorising the filing of such appeal under Section 35B(2) of the Central Excise Act 1944. If the grounds for formation of such opinion by the Collector/ Commissioner are not reflected in the order authorising filing of the appeal, the Larger Bench held, such grounds should at least be contained...
