Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Mumbai

Decided on: Jun-30-2000

Reported in: (2000)(122)ELT258Tri(Mum.)bai

1. This is an application for early hearing of the appeal before us.The main ground of appeal is the appellants status as Golden Trading House may be in jeopardy because the proceedings have been initiated by DGFT authorities. Out of the total five draw back shipping bills have been converted into advance licence. The learned advocate Shri M.H.Patil pleads before us that once the status of Golden Trading House is changed it will cause irreparable loss to the applicant. We have considered this request. We are of the view that the applicant can inform the DGFT authorities about the pendency of appeals before this Tribunal. This Tribunal is an independent body and once a request is made to the DGFT authorities they have to consider the request on merits, who will consider their request for postponement of the matter.We therefore feel that no case has been made out for the out of turn hearing in this matter. Application stands dismissed....
