Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: Feb-27-2004

Reported in: (2004)(170)ELT111TriDel

1. In this appeal filed by the Revenue against the impugned order, the issue relates to the confiscation of the excess unaccounted goods, imposition of redemption fine and the penalty.2. I have heard both sides and gone through the record. The perusal of the record shows that 24.695 MT M.S. Bars, on taking physical verification of the stock lying in the factory premises of the respondents, by the Central Excise Officers were found excess than what was recorded in the record. The stock verification report was prepared at the spot which was signed by Shri Surinder Kumar, authorized signatory of the respondents in token of its correctness. Therefore, the argument of the learned Counsel for the respondents that method adopted by the Department for arriving at the excess goods, was not proper and that the learned Commissioner (Appeals) has rightly so held in the impugned order while reversing the order-in-original, cannot be legally accepted.
