The Commissioner (Appeals) in the impugned order held as under : "The crux of the matter is whether the expression 'Acrylic Fibre' also includes Acrylic Tow and Tops in its ambit. It is observed that the Board vide its Circular No. 8/16/6/88-TRU, dated 31-5-1988 has clarified that the expression used in the Notification No. 80/88, dated 1-3-1988 namely, "Acrylic Fibre" covers not only acrylic staple fibre, but also tow and tops of the same material. The term 'Fibre' is generic in nature and covers low, staple fibre and tops.

Parminder Singh and anr. Vs. Virender Pal Singh Jolly

Court: Delhi

Decided on: May-31-2004

Reported in: 112(2004)DLT45

Vikramajit Sen, J.1. This Revision discloses the manner in which the justice delivery system can be crippled by the adoption of dilatory devices which can succeed only because the system is bursting at the seams owing to the perennial shortage of judicial officers. A change in the mindset is essential and unavoidable and the affliction of showing leniency towards the party adopting delaying tactics calls for a paradigm shift so that this malaise can be put to a swift and clinical death.2. In the present case the revisionist/plaintiff had filed a suit for recovery of possession and mesne profits almost fifteen years ago. The Written Statement was filed by the defendant/respondent in on 18.7.1988. This would have entailed the appointment of a pleader under Order III of the Code of Civil Procedure which enjoins the Advocate to appear in the case till his Vakalatnama is permitted to be withdrawn by specific orders of the Court. The frequent occurrence of Advocates choosing not to appear in...
