Deepak Mehrchand Mehta Vs. Collector of Customs

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Mumbai

Decided on: Oct-04-1983

Reported in: (1984)(15)ELT488Tri(Mum.)bai

1. This appeal under Section 129A(1) of the Customs Act, 1962 arises out of order No. S/49-405/82 dated 11-11-82 passed by the Appellate Collector of Customs, Bombay.2. The appellant arrived in India on 3-10-82 from Muscat and claimed clearance of his personal belongings under the Transfer of Residence Rules except for one VCR-Akai Model VS-9800 valued at Rs, 9000/-. All the other items were passed by the Assistant Collector of Customs. He held that on the date of purchase of the VCR, the appellant was not in Oman as he was in Cairo during that period. The appellant's contention that he had purchased it while in Oman and that the store showed purchase in the relevant month for their own purpose, was not found convincing argument, after examining the VCR. In his appeal it was argued that the VCR was purchased on his return from Cairo on 3-7-81 and it looked new as it was serviced two days prior to departure. Since the VCR was out of Customs charge and could not be examined, the Appella...

In order to bring out this point more clearly a few facts may be stated.3. The assessee, a private, limited company, carries on business in construction of building.
