Counsel for the petitioner confines his argument only to the question of sentence. He submits that the petitioner has already undergone substantive portion of the sentence of imprisonment awarded to him and now he is undergoing sentence of imprisonment in default of payment of fine.

It may be noted that the Tribunal considered the decision in the case of Surjan Singh of Nangal Dewat and rendered the decision.

Decided on: May-05-2004

Reported in: (2004)(170)ELT185TriDel

2. The Revenue filed this appeal against order-in-appeal passed by the Commissioner (Appeals). The brief facts of the case are that the officers of Central Excise department visited the factory of the appellant and it was found that certain finished products were not accounted for in their RG-1 record. The goods were seized and adjudicating authority confiscated the goods and allowed the same on payment of redemption fine. A personal penalty was also imposed on the appellant.3. On appeal filed by the appellant, the Commissioner (Appeals) set aside the confiscation of the goods on the ground that the goods which were found in excess than the stock register lying in the factory were neither fully manufactured nor in packed condition.4.

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: May-05-2004

1. In this appeal filed by Revenue the issue involved is whether duty of Excise is demandable from M/s. Raymond Ltd. for production of proof of export beyond the period of 6 months.2. When the matter was called no one was present on behalf of the Respondents. In fact the notice sent to them by the Registry of the Tribunal has been received back from the postal authorities with the remark 'Refused to accept'. We, therefore, heard Mrs. Charul Baranwal, learned SDR and perused the records. The learned SDR submitted that show cause notices were issued to the Respondents as they had failed to produce proof of export within 6 months as stipulated under Notification No. 48/94-C.E. (N.T.), dated 22-9-1994 in respect of export of cement to Bangladesh under bond under Rule 13 of the Central Excise Rules, 1944; that the Respondents had applied for permission for extended period of export after the expiry of the specified period of 6 months; that however, the permission of extension was granted a...

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: May-05-2004

Reported in: (2004)(94)ECC353

1. In this appeal, the appellants have contested the correctness of the impugned Order-in-Appeal vide which the Commissioner (Appeals) has dismissed their appeals against the Order-in-Original, as time barred.2. The learned Counsel has contended that appeal filed by the appellants against the Order-in-Original was within time as the copy of the said order was received by them only on 15.7.2003 while the appeal was filed by them on 2.9.2003 and that the Commissioner (Appeals) has wrongly rejected their appeal on the question of limitation.3. On the other hand, the SDR has reiterated the correctness of the order.4. We have heard both the sides and gone through the record. The perusal of the records shows that the Order-in-original was passed against the appellants, by the adjudicating authority who confirmed the seizure of the goods found lying in their factory and imposed redemption fine of Rs. 2.5 lakhs for getting the same redeemed and also imposed penalty of Rs. 1 lakh on them. The ...

Steel Shape India Ltd. is whether they are eligible to avail the benefit of Notification No. 38/97-C.E., dated 27-6-1997 in respect of their new product w.e.f, December, 1997.2. When the matter was called no one was present on behalf of the appellants, nor was there any request for adjournment of the matter. As the issue involved is in very narrow compass we heard Mrs. Charul Baranwal, learned SDR, and perused the records for disposing of the appeal.
