Decided on: Jun-23-1999

Reported in: 2000(2)BomCR653; 1999(3)MhLj867

ORDERD.K. Deshmukh, J.1. By this petition, the petitioner challenges the order passed by the Labour Court, Nasik in Miscellaneous (I.D.A.) No. 3 of 1996. The facts that are material and relevant for deciding the present petition are that a Reference (I.D.A.) No. 30 of 1990 was sent by Deputy Commissioner, Nasik under section 10 read with section 12 of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 to the Labour Court for adjudication. The question that has to be determined in that reference was whether the respondent-Kacharu is entitled to the relief of reinstatement in service with continuity and full back wages with effect from 4th February, 1986. It appears that reference was decided ex parte by the Labour Court by its award dated 20th January, 1996.

The petitioner-employer was directed to reinstate the workman with continuity of service and full back wages from 24th January, 1989. It appear...

Commissioner of C. Ex. Vs. Siemens Ltd.

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Mumbai

Decided on: Jun-22-1999

Reported in: (2000)(118)ELT689Tri(Mum.)bai

1. The question for consideration in this appeal by the department is classification of thirteen articles manufactured by the respondent.These are described as follows : 2. The goods at Sr. No. 1 to 7 were earlier classified by their manufacturer under heading 8537.00 and the others under 8543.00. The classifications of these articles were subsequently changed by the assessee to 8504.00. The department disputed this classification by issue of notice. Adjudicating on the notice, the Asst. Collector, whose order has been confirmed by the Collector (Appeals), held the classification under 8504.00 to be correct. Hence this appeal.3. The departmental representative explains the reasoning in the appeal. This is not entirely clear, but appears to proceed on the basis that the goods are composite in nature incorporating elements which perform functions to control the machinery to which they are attached and are therefore more appropriately import classification under Heading 85.37 or 85.43.4....

Decided on: Jun-22-1999

Reported in: (1999)(85)LC357Tri(Mum.)bai

1. When this application for stay of the impugned order was heard, it appeared that at this stage itself the main appeal could be taken up for disposal. Both sides agreeing, this was done.2. The assessees manufactured inverters and converters falling under heading 8504.00. One of the inputs was uninsulated copper strips falling under subheading 7409.10. In certain instances pieces cut from the strip were supplied to the buyers of the inverters etc. for replacement. The gate passes issued under Rule 52A described the goods as copper strip. In the commercial invoices however these goods were described as "bus bars". The duty was paid in terms of Rule 57F(1)(ii) on the ground that the inputs were removed as such. On 30.6.1994 the jurisdictional Assistant Collector issued an order for classification of such goods. In this order he took cognizance of the fact that the assessees termed such goods removed in terms of Rule 57F(1)(ii) as bus bars. He held that since these strips were not insul...

Decided on: Jun-22-1999

Reported in: (1999)(85)LC226Tri(Mum.)bai

The appellant filed an appeal before the Commissioner (Appeals) who by the impugned order indicates that the appellant was directed to pay a sum of Rs. 3 lakhs (out of Rs. 20 lakhs imposed) which he failed to do so. Therefore the Commissioner (Appeals) dismissed the appeal. The appellant has filed the appeal against the said order. Now an application has been filed for waiver of pre-deposit of Rs. 20 lakhs.The main grievance of the appellant is that at present he does not have any financial resources to pay the amount and he has also filed certified income-tax returns as well as the accounts duly certified by Chartered Accountant. The learned DR would argue the case of the department by adopting the reasonings indicated in the order passed by the authorities below.2. We have considered the submissions made by both sides. Prima facie we are of the view that a warehouse keeper cannot be directed to pay penalty in respect of the goods which he has not admittedly manufactured. The questio...
