Commr. of C. Ex. Vs. Ramco Confectionery (P) Ltd.

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: Sep-11-2003

Reported in: (2004)(166)ELT79TriDel

1. In this appeal which has been filed by the Revenue against the impugned Order-in-Appeal, the issue centres around the question as to whether the confiscation of the unaccounted goods lying in the factory premises of the respondents could be ordered or not after having been released provisionally to them during the adjudication proceedings. The adjudicating authority only imposed a penalty of Rs. 5,000/- under Rule 173Q(1) of the Rules for non-accountal of the goods and refused to order the confiscation of those goods on the ground that those were not available for having been released to the respondents provisionally.That order has been upheld by the Commissioner (Appeals). But in my view, the ground on which the confiscation of the seized unaccounted goods had been refused by the authorities below is not legally tenable in view of the Apex Court's judgment in the case of Weston Components Ltd. v. CCE, New Delhi reported in 2000 (115) E.L.T. 278 wherein it has been ruled that even ...

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: Sep-11-2003

Reported in: (2004)(91)ECC33

1. In this appeal, which has been filed against the Order-in-Appeal of the Commissioner (Appeals), the Revenue has questioned the dropping of the penalty of Rs. 10,000 confirmed on the respondents under Rule 173Q, by the adjudicating authority, while confirming the demand of duty of Rs. 49,193, on account of shortage of the raw material and finished goods.2. The respondents have filed the cross objections wherein they have reiterated the correctness of the impugned order. They prayed for the decision on merits.3. The learned JDR has contended that the penalty under Rule 173Q could not be dropped against the respondents for the simple reason that they deposited the duty before issuance of show cause notice. According to him, this deposit was not voluntary, but it was on the asking by the Officers of Central Excise.4. I have gone through the record and the contention of learned JDR deserves to be accepted. The Officers of Central Excise on checking detected the shortage of 24.250 MT of ...
