1. Vide Order No. C-11/2851/99/WZB/C.II dated 1-11-99, the Tribunal dismissed the appeals filed by the Collector of Customs, Ahmedabad. The issue involved was whether the principle of unjust enrichment would apply where the goods were not sold by the importer but were captively consumed. At the time when the Tribunal passed this order the judgment of the Mumbai High Court in the case of Solar Pesticides v. U.O.I.-1992 (57) E.L.T. 201 was taken to be the settled law on this issue, in spite of the fact that the revenue had filed an appeal against this judgment. In the cited order by the Tribunal following an earlier judgment reproduced in Commissioner v. Gujarat State Fertilizers & Chemicals Ltd. [1999 (34) R.L.T. 694], the Tribunal observed as under : "In the judgment it was held that where the goods were not sold but were captively consumed, the law of unjust enrichment will not apply".2.
