Decided on: Apr-05-1999

Reported in: (1999)(113)ELT829Tri(Mum.)bai

1. The appellant was engaged in the manufacture of starch from maize.The process of manufacture requires treating with kernel of maize with water into which had been dissolved sulphur dioxide. Notice was issued to the assessee alleging that by this process of the mixing of sulphur dioxide and water, dilute sulphuric acid emerges, on which duty had not been paid; since the final product, starch was exempt from duty by Notification 27/91, the benefit of Notification under 217/86 could not be available to it.

Decided on: Apr-05-1999

Reported in: (1999)(112)ELT901Tri(Mum.)bai

impugned order came up for decision, it appeared that at this stage itself, the main appeals could be decided. Both sides agreeing, this was done.2. The appellants imported certain goods. The Customs authorities assessed the goods under a wrong Tariff sub-heading resulting in the assessees having to pay more amount of additional duty than ought to have been paid by them. They took the Modvat credit of the actual amount paid by them. Vide three show cause notices the differential credit between what was paid and what was correctly payable if the assessment had been done under the proper heading, was sought to be reversed. The Assistant Commissioner ordered reversal. The Commissioner (Appeals) upheld the order. In doing so he relied upon the wording of Notification No. 5/94. It was his belief that the wording in the notification suggested that only that amount is to be given as credit which according to the statute is leviable and not what actually has been paid.3.

R.M. Lodha, J.1. Heard Sri Pai, the learned counsel for the appellant and Sri Satpute, the learned counsel for the respondent,2. Sri Pai, the learned counsel for the appellant, submits that the appellate Court erred in setting aside the judgment and order passed by the trial Court by relying upon the telegram, dated October 10, 1990 as a communication for withdrawal of resignation letter. Sri. Pai submits that the expression 'lien' in the telegram, dated October 10, 1990, is not withdrawal of resignation letter. According to him the employee-respondent sent a notice of resignation of three months on July 10, 1990 and on the expiry of three months, the resignation letter came into effect automatically and, therefore, the appeal Court erred in decreeing the plaintiffs suit.3. The employee who is respondent herein and original plaintiff in the suit sent the communication to the appellant-employer on July 10, 1990. The said communication was in the nature of three months notice of resignat...
