B.M. Power Cables Pvt. Ltd. Vs. Commissioner of C. Ex. and Cus.

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Mumbai

Decided on: Apr-15-2002

Reported in: (2002)(146)ELT72Tri(Mum.)bai

1. The common question for consideration in each of the appeals is whether each of the appellants was entitled to receive the refund of excise duty which it paid in excess, which was granted to it and subsequently recovered from it on the ground that such refund amounted to unjust enrichment.2. The refund in each cases were sanctioned, the notice issued for its recovery issued orders confirming wrong payment passed, and the order of the Commissioner (Appeals) confirming that order passed before May, 1994, when Section 11B of the Act was incorporated in sub-section (2), doctrine of unjust enrichment would apply. However, in dealing with the refund, we are bound to give effect to the provisions of the amended section. Therefore, even though it could not legally have been raised when proceedings were going on, the question whether the incidence of duty has been passed is required to be answered. Counsel for the appellant answers it by saying that it has not been passed on because the pri...

R.J. Kochar, J.1. Affluent have tremendous capacity to litigate even for a frivolous point. They have a great ability to occupy very large part of valuable time of the Courts, The present is one of such litigating activity carried on by the members of one and the same family. The present feud is between three uncles on one side and five nephews on the other. It has shocked me when I perused the proceedings to note the subject matter of the group of the present petitions. It is over the small office or post in the managing committee of the cooperative society which is wholly occupied by the aforesaid uncles and the nephews and nobody else. There appear to be nine members of the society and they being blood relations, they are not able to see eye to eye. My efforts to resolve the controversy with the help of both the learned Counsel proved to be a shocking failure on account of an uncompromising and adamant attitude on both the sides of the parties.
