Abdul Aziz Reshamwala Vs. Commissioner of Customs

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: May-23-2003

Reported in: (2003)(90)ECC115

1. In this appeal which has been preferred by the appellant, against the impugned order-in-original dated 3.10.2002, the only issue involved is as to whether the appellant is entitled to the release of the Indian currency of Rs. 21,23,050 confiscated under, Section 121 of the Customs Act or not.2. The learned Counsel has contended that since the confiscated currency is the sale proceeds of 42 gold biscuits of foreign origin duly imported under the Gold Scheme by Abdul Saleem who handed over the same to the appellant as his attorney for sale and the latter (the appellant) delivered to one Dilip Kumar S. Jain who sold the same and handed over the money to one Rajendra Soni for delivery to the appellant, therefore, the appellant is entitled to the release of the same. But in our view, this contention of the learned Counsel is wholly misconceived and does not find any support and corroboration from the materials/evidence on record. Admittedly; the confiscated Indian currency in question w...

(2) Bill of Entry No. 931999, dated 1341-95 showing CVD of Rs. 93,182.60.None of these Bills of Entry was bearing stamped seal of the certifying assessing officer of the Customs.

Commissioner of Central Excise Vs. Prisma Polyfabs (Pvt.) Ltd.

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: May-23-2003

Reported in: (2003)(162)ELT381TriDel

1. The Revenue has filed the present appeal as the Commissioner of Central Excise while confirming the demand of duty and imposing penalty on M/s. Prisma Polyfabs (Pvt.) Limited has not imposed interest under Section 11AB of the Central Excise Act, 1944.2. When the matter was called, no one was present on behalf of the Respondents, nor was there any request for adjournment. As the issue involved is in a very narrow compass, we take up the appeal for disposal after hearing Ms. Charul Baranwal, learned SDR and after perusal of the records. On a query from the Bench, learned SDR intimated that the provisions of Section 11AB of the Central Excise Act for imposing interest were not mentioned in the show cause notice dated 19-1-1998. As the provisions of the said section were not invoked in the show cause notice, the question of imposing interest under Section 11AB of the Act does not arise. Accordingly, there is no merit in the appeal filed by the Revenue which is rejected....
