Brief fact for the purpose of disposal of these appeals can be stated as below.3. The respondents herein paid duty only on the job work charges and when the RT-12 returns were filed for the relevant period, the Supdt.made endorsements on the RT-12 returns pointing out short levy on this ground and directed the respondents to make the payment. The respondents went in appeal against the RT-12 assessment before the Collector (Appeals), who, in the aforesaid order, held that the lower authority has not followed the procedure under Section 11A of the Central Excises and Salt Act, 1944 and hence held that the demands raised by the Supdt. on RT-12 returns are not sustainable in law.

Mafatlal Industries Ltd. Vs. Collector C. Ex. and Cus.

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Mumbai

Decided on: Dec-27-1989

Reported in: (1991)LC65Tri(Mum.)bai

1. The aforesaid appeals arise out of the orders of the Collector (Appeals) listed above against each. All these appeals arise out of the common issue excepting some minor variations which are discussed individually and hence they were heard together and we propose to dispose of through this common order. It is needless to elaborate the facts of the case in detail. The appellants manufacture cotton yarn, non-cellulosic spun yarn and cellulosic yarn and they consume these varieties of yarn captively in the manufacture of fabrics. They had been paying duty on these yarn captively consumed in the manufacture of fabrics till the Delhi High Court in its judgment dated 16-10-80 reported in 1981 ELT 887 allowed the Writ Petition challenging the levy of Central Excise duty on yarn captively consumed in the manufacture of fabrics. Thereafter, the appellants stopped paying duty on yarn captively consumed. The department have taken up the matter by way of SLP before the Supreme Court [It is repo...

Court: Income Tax Appellate Tribunal ITAT Mumbai

Decided on: Dec-26-1989

Reported in: (1990)32ITD657(Mum.)

1. These three appeals by the department are directed against the separate, but identical, orders of the first appellate authority relating to the assessment years 1980-81,1981-82 and 1982-83.2. The solitary and common issue agitated in these three appeals relates to the allowability of deduction on account of interest claimed to be payable on a liability taken over by the assessee. The assessee had taken over the distillery division of M/s. India Sugar & Refineries Ltd. for consideration of Rs. 33 lacs. According to the terms of the agreement to purchase, the assessee had taken over all the assets and liabilities of the vendor in respect of the distillery division. The liability relating to the excess realisation of sugar sales amounting to Rs. 33,71,042 was there and continues to be there even now. The purchase of the distillery division was made by the assessee on 1-10-1978. The assessee's claim before the I.T.O. was that it was liable to pay interest at the rate of 12.5 per ce...

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Dec-22-1989

Reported in: 1990(47)ELT322(Bom)

Desai, Member (J).1. This appeal can be disposed of at the stage of admission. Accordingly the appeal is admitted. Respondents waive service. Appeal is taken up for hearing.2. The order of the learned Single Judge impugned in this appeal is one refusing issue of Rule on the basis that the order of the Customs, Excise & Gold (Control) Appellate Tribunal (CEGAT) is a discretionary order and this Court under Article 226 of the Constitution of India ought not to interfere with the exercise of discretion.3. We are aware that in number of matters this Court has considered the orders of deposit passed by CEGAT. We have been pointed out that in the instant case the CEGAT has considered only financial hardship of the appellants before it whereas in many matters merits of the appeal have been considered by the Tribunal in reducing the quantum of deposit or waiving it altogether.4. It has been submitted before us that the Appellants are prepared to give bank guarantee in respect of the full amoun...

Tide Water Detergent Co. and anr. Vs. Union of India (Uoi) and ors.

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Dec-22-1989

Reported in: 1992(40)LC530(Bombay)

S.C. Pratap, J.1. Rule, returnable forthwith. Respondents waive service.2. This petition challenges the legality and validity of two orders both dated 23rd October 1989, part of Exhibits E & F respectively. Turning to these two orders, one finds the same to be as short and cryptic as ever and passed purely and simply upon an earlier adjudication order dated 30th September 1989. Save and except placing reliance simpliciter upon the earlier order dated 30th September 1989, there is absolutely no independent reason in support of the presently impugned orders dated 23rd October 1989.3. Now, against the earlier order dated 30th September 1989 the petitioners have preferred appeal to the Collector of Central Excise (Appeals), Bombay. Along with the said appeal an application for stay has also been filed. And I understand that both the appeal and the application are pending before the Appellate Authority.4. Mr. Vahanvati appearing for the petitioners states that against the presently impugned...

Orient Syntex Ltd. Vs. Assistant Collector of C. Ex.

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Dec-21-1989

Reported in: 1990(47)ELT321(Bom)

1. Rule, returnable forthwith. Respondents waive service.2. The petitioners' appeal was dismissed by the Collector of Central Excise and Customs on the ground of delay and without going into the merits. Against the Collector's order the petitioners preferred appeal to the Tribunal i.e. CEGAT. The Tribunal declined stay of the order of deposit of the disputed amount of Rs. 2,07,000/-.3. I have heard Counsel on either side. I have also through the order of the Collector as also that of the Tribunal. There is no dispute that there was delay in filing the appeal before the Collector. This, however, is not a case where the Collector should have dismissed the appeal on the ground of delay and without going into the merits. The Collector could as well have put the petitioners on terms on the question of condonation of delay. In matters of delay, there is normally some sort of negligence on the part of the litigant but payment of costs to the other side, by and large, meets the ends of justice...
