Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Aug-17-2000

Reported in: 2001(2)BomCR209

A.M. Khanwilkar, J.1. Heard both sides. By consent revision application heard finally.Only question involved in this revision application is whether the trial Court was right in directing the defendants to enter the witness-box in the first instance, by the impugned order dated 28th February, 1996. The order is very short which reads thus:'Heard Shri Hundra for defendants, Shri Bhadu Pote for plaintiff.There are about 14 issues. Only Issue No. 4 casts burden on the plaintiff. It is the case of the defendant in view of certain arrangements they are utilizing the trade mark of the plaintiff. Considering the onus, I direct the defendants to enter in the witness box and plaintiff would be rebutting.Application is allowed.'The only reason indicated in the said order is that burden is cast on the plaintiff to prove only four issues out of total 14 issues and, therefore, the defendants have been directed to enter the witness-box. According to the non-applicant/plaintiff, the said order was in...

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Mumbai

Decided on: Aug-16-2000

Reported in: (2000)(122)ELT136Tri(Mum.)bai

1. The very short point involved in this case is the classification of the product "Geraniol" manufactured by the respondents. The product was classified under heading 3302.90 by the Asstt. Collector. The Collector (Appeals) accepted the alternate classification proposed by the assessees under heading 2905.90. In the appeal, the Commissioner states that the classification under Ch. 3302.90 is more appropriate. In the cross-objection the assessees stand by their classification.2. We have heard Shri K.M. Patwari for the department and Shri K.V.Sahasrabudhe for the respondents. We have also seen the Ch. heading, Ch. note and HSN classification.3. In terms of Rule (1) of the rules for the interpretation of the schedule to the Excise Tariff, the classification of a product would be governed by terms of the headings as well as the sections and Ch.notes. The description of heading 3302 reads as follows "Mixtures of Odoriferous substances and mixtures (including alcoholic solutions) with a ba...

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Mumbai

Decided on: Aug-16-2000

Reported in: (2001)(134)ELT499Tri(Mum.)bai

1. The applicant is absent and unrepresented, by letter dated 19-6-2000 requests decision on merits.2. A sum of Rs. 1,16,353.41 is required to be deposited by the as-sessee as duty payable on the mild steel bars manufactured by it and cleared without payment of duty under notification 208/83. The Assistant Commissioner has denied benefit of the notification on the ground that the rerollable material out of which the finished goods were made was itself exempted from duty by notification 386/86 since it was obtained by breaking of ship. The Commissioner (Appeals) has dismissed the appeal before him for failure of the applicant to pay about 50% of the duty as ordered by him.Maharashtra Steel Industries v. CCE -1997 (95) E.L.T. 342 could not be denied solely for the reason that no duty had been paid on the inputs used in the manufacture of the finished goods; it had gone by the fact that there was no requirement in the notification 208/83 that any specific duty has to be paid on the input...

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Mumbai

Decided on: Aug-16-2000

Reported in: (2000)(121)ELT803Tri(Mum.)bai

1. The appeal was filed by the Commissioner of Central Excise, Mumbai-VI. The scrutiny shows that the copies of the Order-in-Original were not enclosed herewith. Several memoranda were sent to the Commissioner for correcting the lacuna. Ultimately, a notice was sent asking the Commissioner why the appeal should not be dismissed. Shri Choubey, JDR also separately sent a letter on 9-5-2000. In response to the letter, the Office of the Commissioner of Central Excise sent one copy of the Order-in-Original to Shri Choubey vide letter dated 6-6-2000.2. We are amazed at the lack of knowledge displayed by the Appellant Commissioner. In spite of several reminders and notice the Commisisoner has not ensured the survival of the appeal. The appeal is dismissed under Rule 11 of the CEGAT (Procedure) Rules, 1982.3. A copy of this order be marked to Chief Commissioner of Central Excise, Mumbai for his information....
