Sharda Crimpers Vs. Commissioner of Central Excise

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Mumbai

Decided on: Apr-04-1998

Reported in: (1998)(101)ELT307Tri(Mum.)bai

1. Application is for waiver of deposit of Rs. 12.44 lakhs approximately.2. After hearing both sides we find prima facie the position to be as follows. Rs. 4.74 lakhs approximately has been demanded twice; since the invoices for this amount appear in both the notices to the applicant on different grounds. A demand to the extent of Rs. 4.90 lakhs is prima facie barred by limitation, notice having been issued on 1-2-1995 for credit taken between July and August, 1994, at the time when Rule 57-I required notice to be issued within six months of taking credit Rs. 99,000/- approximately is on the basis of invoices issued from the manufacturers depot denied on the ground that the depot was not registered as a dealer. Prima facie the contention that the manufacturers depot does not require to be registered seems acceptable.This leaves a balance of Rs. 1.80 lakhs of the credit taken on the basis of invoices issued by the manufacturer to some one else who endorsed them to the applicant.

Cce Vs. Harinagar Sugar Mills and ors.

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Mumbai

Decided on: Apr-04-1998

Reported in: (1998)(77)LC42Tri(Mum.)bai

1. These appeals filed by the Commissioners of Central Excise, Mumbai-I, Mumbai-II and Aurangabad, against the orders of Commissioner of Central Excise (Appeals) captioned above, involve a common issue.The question is, whether grant of refund under Section 11B of Central Excises Act, 1944, even during the period prior to its amendment with effect from 20.9.1991, would be governed by the condition that the assessee seeking refund should prove that the duty burden has not been passed on to his customers. The amendment to Section 11B of 20.9.1991 incorporated this condition. In all these cases, the impugned orders have been passed prior to the amendment in which the Commissioners (Appeals) have held that unjust enrichment was not an ingredient in Section 11B of Central Excises Act for grant of refund and hence cannot be lawfully invoked by the departmental authorities to deny the refund if otherwise eligible on merits.2. We have heard Id. DR Shri D. Gurnani who relied upon the judgment o...

Bhoruka Drums and Allied P. Ltd. Vs. Commr. of C. Ex.

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Mumbai

Decided on: Apr-03-1998

Reported in: (2000)(115)ELT809Tri(Mum.)bai

1. We have heard the ld. Counsel Shri S. Kantawalla for the applicants/appellants and Shri S.V. Singh, the ld. JDR. We find that these are all applications for stay filed along-with the appeals arising out of the same common impugned order demanding duty and imposing penalty of various amounts on the applicants. On a perusal of the records, however, we find that there was a fundamental infirmity in the passing of the adjudication order by the Commissioner, because of which the whole order is vitiated and therefore, we are of the view that the matter itself will have to be remanded to the adjudicating authority. We accordingly, grant stay and take up the appeals themselves for disposal in this view of the matter.2. In this case, proceedings were initiated by the department against the appellants alleging under-valuation in respect of computer peripherals for which a show cause notice was issued on 26-4-1995 to the appellants. Reply was furnished to the show cause notice by the appellan...
