Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: Oct-07-2003

Reported in: (2004)(165)ELT345TriDel

1. Compliance has been noted. The learned Counsel states that the matter is an old one and the appeal itself should be decided as the Commissioner (Appeals) through the impugned order had dismissed the appeal of the appellants against the order-in-original on the question of limitation only without hearing on merits.2. T have perused the record and the impugned order and I find that the request of the Counsel deserves to be allowed. Therefore, I proceed to decide the appeal itself.3. I have heard the learned Counsel and JDR. The bare perusal of the impugned order shows that there was delay of 12 days on the part of the appellants in filing the appeal against the order-in-original before the Commissioner (Appeals). That delay according to them occurred on account of misplacement of papers by their Counsel, who even submitted his own letter to that effect before the Commissioner (Appeals). There is nothing on record to suggest if the appellants had any motive to file the appeal alter th...

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: Oct-06-2003

Reported in: (2004)(163)ELT482TriDel

1. In this appeal, the Revenue has questioned the validity of the impugned order-in-appeal vide which the Commissioner (Appeals) has reversed the order-in-original and allowed the modvat credit on the ramming mass along with other items (with which we are not concerned in the present appeal) to the respondents.2. The learned JDR has contended that no evidence whatsoever has been brought on record to prove the use of the ramming mass by the respondents in or in relation to the manufacture of the final product in the factory. In reply to the show cause notice, they had nowhere even disclosed the use. Therefore, the modvat credit could not be allowed. On the other hand, the learned counsel for the respondents has heavily leaned on the decisions of the Tribunal as well as the Apex Court to contend that any article brought in the factory by the manufacturer and used in or in relation to the manufacture of the final product has to be treated a input or capital good for allowing the modvat c...
