Emmes Metals Ltd. Vs. Cce

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Mumbai

Decided on: Sep-09-1999

Reported in: (2000)(90)LC579Tri(Mum.)bai

1. While hearing the stay application, it appeared that the main appeal could be taken up for disposal. This was done after granting waiver of pre-deposit of penalty of Rs. 10,000/-.2. I have heard Shri D.D. Gwalani, advocate for the appellants and Shri Patwari, JDR for the revenue.3. The appellants received a consignment of 516 ingots of zinc totally weighing 12.186 M/T under challan No. 024 dated 30.9.1992. Earlier, 520 pieces totally weighing 12.280 MT under Gate pass 000633 dated 19.9.1992 were transferred from the factory of M/s. Hindustan Zinc Ltd. to their depot which Gate pass was also endorsed to the present appellants. In this endorsement there was an error. While the endorsed quantity was less than the quantity covered under the gate pass, the endorsement certified that the entire quantity stood transferred. On a perusal of the gate pass, it was obvious that this was a clerical error. The Addl. Commissioner held that the gate pass was defective and on this count he denied t...

KaThe Steel Rolling Mill Pvt. Ltd. Vs. C.C.E. and Cus.

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Mumbai

Decided on: Sep-09-1999

Reported in: (2000)(115)ELT145Tri(Mum.)bai

1. Application No. E/Stay-1376-R/99-Bom (in Appeal E/1974/99) is for waiver of deposit of differential duty amounting to Rs. 1,471/- per month. After hearing both sides the position seems to be this : 2. In the order dated 14-7-1998 the Commissioner determined under Rule 96ZP the installed capacity of applicant's furnace, duty payable by the applicant calculated on its installed capacity in accordance with the rules, to be Rs. 2,04,402/-. By a corrigendum dated 5-11-1998 this was revised to Rs. 2,77,300/-. By a further corrigendum dated 10-3-1999 the figure was again changed to Rs. 2,05,879/-. We find considerable merit, prima facie, in the contention of the representative of the applicant that the corrigendum, which had the effect of increasing the applicants duty liability, could not have been issued without giving an appropriate opportunity. Corrigendum does not cite any arithmetical error or any such factor for the change. Accordingly we waive deposit of the amount of differential...

Sagar Twisters Vs. Cce

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Mumbai

Decided on: Sep-09-1999

Reported in: (2000)(89)LC509Tri(Mum.)bai

1. Application is for waiver of deposit of duty of Rs. 19.90 lakhs and penalty of equal amount under Section 11AC of the Act. The duty has been demanded and penalty imposed, because the applicant took credit under Rule 57Q of Rs. 21,000/- approximately on 09/08/1997, while it had declared its intention to avail of the benefit of notification 4/97 as amended. One of the conditions for the availing of this notification is that no credit under Rule 57A or Rule 57Q "has been availed".2. The contention of the advocate for the applicant is that while the credit was taken it was not utilised towards payment of duty and the credit taken was reversed in September, 1998, and that, therefore credit has not been availed of. He cited the judgement of Madras High Court in Mani P.S. v. A. Palani Muthupillai and Anr. AIR 1996 Madras 60 to say that one avails of something if one benefits from it.3. The departmental representative says that acceptance of this argument would lead to a situation that the...

By this appeal the appellants seek to challenge the order dated 30th June, 1999 passed by the learned Single Judge dismissing the Arbitration petition of the appellants by which the award of the arbitrator was sought to be challenged on the ground of misconduct.2. We have heard the learned Counsel for the appellants who submits that in the instant case the award is vitiated because of non-compliance of the provisions of section 48 of the Indian Partnership Act, 1932.

ORDERR.K. Batta, J.1. The petitioners challenge order dated 21st January 1999 of Civil Judge, Senior Division, Margao, whereby Court Commissioner was ordered to be appointed under Order XXXIX, Rule 7 C.P.C. 2. In order to appreciate the controversy between the parties it is necessary to state the background in which this application was filed. The petitioners (plaintiffs) had filed a suit for permanent injunction seeking to restrain the respondents (defendants) from in any manner entering and interfering in the suit property under Survey No. 39/40. An application for temporary injunction was filed in the said suit seeking to restrain the respondents from taking forcible possession of portion of property to make an access leading to their property. The defendants made a counter-claim claiming the suit access through the property of the plaintiffs and sought restrain on the plaintiffs from obstruction of the suit access. The Civil Judge had dismissed the plaintiffs' application and respo...

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Sep-09-1999

Reported in: 2000(3)BomCR199; 2001(2)MhLj834

ORDERH.L. Gokhale, J.1. Heard Mr. Shah for the petitioners, Mr. Deogirikar for respondent Nos. 1 to 5 and Mr. Utangale for respondent No. 6.2. A short question reused in this matter is as to whether second revision would lie under section 154 of the Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act, 1960 after an earlier decision by the Divisional Joint Registrar in revision under the same section against the order of the Assistant Registrar. The petitioners are aggrieved by such order and Mr. Shah submits that such a second revision is not contemplated under section 154 of the M.C.S. Act and the order of the State Government is without jurisdiction. Mr. Deogirikar on the other hand draws my attention to quite a few judgments and states that such a revision is maintainable. Having considered those judgments and two other judgments of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Vishesh Kumar v. Shanti Prasad, : [1980]3SCR32 and Aumdal Animal v. Sadasivam Pillai, : [1987]1SCR485 in my view the position is clear t...

Decided on: Sep-08-1999

Reported in: (2000)(90)LC85Tri(Mum.)bai

1. These four appeals have the same facts and points of law involved.The appellants are the same. These are therefore being disposed of vide this common order.2. We have heard Shri C.S. Lodha, advocate for the appellants and Shri Deepak Kumar for the Revenue.3. The appellants made aluminium castings. In the making of these castings specialized dies were required which dies were manufactured by the appellants themselves. In some cases advances were taken by the appellants for development of such dies from the customers of their castings. In identically worded show cause notices the allegation was made that the assessees had not declared the fact of their having received advances from their customers. It was claimed that the notional interest accrued on these advances should have been added to the valuation of the dies and the added value should have been apportioned over the castings manufactured using such dies. It was alleged that this receipt was additional consideration flowing fro...
