Decided on: Mar-10-2000

Reported in: (2000)(69)ECC545

1. After having heard the parties on stay application, we are of the view that the appeal itself could be decided and with the consent of both sides, proceed to decide the appeal.2. This appeal is against the order of the Commissioner imposing penalty under Section 114A of the Act of Rs. 3,53,721 on the appellant.The reason for which the Commissioner imposed penalty is that appellant took Modvat credit in the course of manufacture of leather garments which was exported under an advance licence scheme. The appellant transferred the import licence obtained as a result of the export by M/s. Luster Chem Corporation which caused import to be made of goods which were accrued due to free clearance under notification 203/92.3. From the fact as narrated above, there is nothing to show that the provisions of Section 114A are attracted. It is not possible to say whether Modvat credit was in fact taken. Reliance by the applicant on the certificate of the Asstt. Commissioner, Mod. V, New Delhi dat...
