Reported in: (2004)(94)ECC207

2. The issue referred to the Larger Bench is whether the chargers for additional testing conducted at the request of customer and the cost of such testing charges being born by the customer, are includible in the assessable value of the goods. The Referring Bench noticed the conflicting view taken by the Tribunal in the case Hindustan Gas & Industries Ltd. Vs. Commissioner of Central Excise & Customs, Baroda, reported in 2001 (133) E.L.T. 481 (Tri.-Mumbai) and in the case of Bhaskar Industrial Development Ltd. Vs.

Vikramajit Sen, J.1. The Petitioners in these Revisions were Defendants in sundry summary suits who had unsuccessfully applied for leave to defend those suits. The Respondents have raised the preliminary objection questioning their very maintainability of the Revisions. It is not as if one is on virgin territory, since this question has been considered by the Division Bench of this Court in Siri Krishan Bhardwaj v. Manohar Lal Gupta and another, : AIR1977Delhi226 . It had been noted in that Judgment that two Learned Judges had returned divergent opinions on this subject. B.C. Misra, J. had opined that a Revision is maintainable whereas D.K. Kapur, J. took the diametrically opposite view that only an appeal against the decree can be entertained. The Division Bench clarified that a Revision entailed only the bringing of an `error` to the notice of the High Court and conferred no further right of hearing on the aggrieved party. It went on to discuss that an order refusing to grant Leave t...
