R.M.S. Khandeparkar, J.1. Heard the learned Advocates for the parties. Perused the records. Since common questions of law and facts arise in both the applications, they were heard together and are being disposed of by this common order.2. From the facts disclosed in the Misc. Civil Application No. 90 of 2002, which are not controverted by the respondent, the petitioner has made out a case for transfer of the proceedings from the Nasik Court to the Family Court at Bandra, Mumbai. As fairly conceded by the learned Advocate for the applicant, consequent to such transfer the respondent would certainly be entitled for travelling expenses bearing in mind the decision of the Apex Court in Shiv Kumari Devendra Ojha v. Ramajor Shitla Prasad Ojha and Ors., reported in : [1997]1SCR214 .3. It is also pertinent to note that the proceedings initiated by the applicant in Misc.

Mukundbhai D. Rathod Vs. Commissioner of Cus. and C. Ex.

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Mumbai

Decided on: Oct-21-2002

Reported in: (2003)(153)ELT320Tri(Mum.)bai

1. The question for consideration in this appeal is the eligibility of the exemption contained in entry 4 of the table to Notification 223/88 to the forgings and forged articles of alloy steel that the appellant manufactured and cleared.2. The entry exempts from duty forgings and forged articles of steel (other than stainless steel) classifiable in any heading or sub-heading or Chapters 72, 73, 85, 86 or 87 of the tariff. The exemption has been denied on the ground that the forgings and forged articles that the appellant manufactured being of alloy steel, were not such articles of steel as mentioned in the notification.3. It is difficult to comprehend this object. Chapter 72 of the tariff which is concerned with iron and steel defines steel, stainless steel and other alloy steel as follows :- Ferrous materials other than those of Heading No. 72.03 which (with the exception of certain types produced in the form of castings) are usefully malleable and which contain by weight 2% or less ...
