B.C. Patel, C.J.

Commissioner of Central Excise Vs. Aswm Spinning Mills

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: Jul-28-2004

Reported in: (2004)(173)ELT57TriDel

1. In this appeal, the Revenue has sought increase in the penalty amount which the Commissioner (Appeals) had reduced from Rs. 50,000/- to Rs. 2,000/-.2. The respondents have also filed cross objections seeking setting aside even the duty amount as well as penalty in toto.4. The facts are not much in dispute. The respondents during August, 99 availed credit of Rs. 4,39,623/- on the strength of photocopy of duplicate copy of the bill of entries. When the jurisdictional range office of the central excise pointed out to the respondents that the credit has been wrongly availed by them, they deposited the amount along with interest on 28-10-1999. Still the Show cause notice was issued to them on 24-11-1999. The adjudicating authority confirmed the demand and imposed penalty of Rs. 50,000/- on the respondents. They, however, filed appeal against that order before the Commissioner (Appeals) wherein they only challenged the imposition of penalty and not the confirmation of duty. The Commissio...

1. In this appeal which has been filed by the appellants against the impugned Order-in-appeal, the issue relates to the applicability of principle of unjust enrichment to their refund claim.2. The authorities below have allowed the refund but ordered its deposit in the Consumer Welfare Fund by applying the abovesaid principle.3. None has come present on behalf of the appellants. They have prayed for decision on merits.5. The perusal of the record shows that the appellants lodged refund claim of Rs. 35,046/- on the ground that they have wrongly paid duty of that much amount on their clearances although at that time they were working under the SSI exemption. But it is well settled that before claiming the refund of duty, every assessee is required to satisfy the conditions laid down in Section 11B of the Act. He is required to prove that incidence of duty has not been passed on by him to the ultimate consumer. This condition the appellants have failed to satisfy for having failed to pro...
