ORDERN.J. Pandya, J.1. Making the Guidelines (Exh. 'F' at page 24) to be the basis, the petitioner has a grievance that within the radius of 3 kms. a licence has been issued for running a Fair Price Shop. The petitioner himself is running two shops under licence and the direct impact of the impugned action is that some of the card holders would be affiliated with the new licensee.2. We have gone through the guidelines. We are not convinced that that can be made the basis for getting a writ issued in favour of the petitioner in the manner prayed for. In our opinion, the guidelines are for the purpose of regulating the distribution of licences in a proper manner so that the avowed purpose of the distribution system of making the food grains available to the needy people in the best possible manner is achieved.3. Obviously, therefore, the Guidelines could never be a basis for making the prayer that within the radius of 3 kms. no licence can be issued. In other words, the Guidelines do not...

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Mumbai

Decided on: Feb-16-1998

Reported in: (1999)(113)ELT574Tri(Mum.)bai

1. The assessee, the respondent in this appeal manufactures plug valves for supply to Gujarat State Fertilizers Co. Ltd. as specially required by the latter. In calculating the assessable value for the price list in Part II filed by it, it did not include the interest of 30% of the advances taken from Gujarat State Fertilizers. The Assistant Collector, after issue of notice, held that although no interest was paid the amount of advance represented addition to the funds of the respondent, which, but for the advance it would have taken from banks and that therefore interest at 18% ought to be added to the assessable value of the goods. Commissioner (Appeals) to whom the assessee took the matter went in appeal applied the ratio of the Madras High Court's decision in Laxmi Machine Works Ltd. v. C.C.E. -1992 (57) E.L.T. 211 and the interest would not form part of the assessable value in absence to show the advance would include reduction in price. Hence this appeal.2.
