Reported in: (2003)(157)ELT34Tri(Mum.)bai

1. The challenge of the assessee to the impugned order of the Commissioner (Appeals) is against his finding that the training imparted by the appellants enriches the value of the computers manufactured and cleared by them and promotes its marketability and therefore training charges are required to be included in the assessable value of the computers.2. None appears for the appellant in spite of notice. Hence we have heard the learned DR and perused the records.3. In the case of CCE, Bangalore v. Sunray Computers - 1988 (33) E.L.T.787 (T) the Tribunal has held that training of customer's staffs, whether prior to the delivery of the computer or thereafter can be said to have no nexus with the manufacture or marketability of the computer and hence its value is not includible in the assessable value of the computers. The same view has been taken in the case of Auto Control Pvt. Ltd. v. CCE 4. Following the ratio of the above decisions we hold that the training charges do not form part of...

S.A. Bobde, J.1. The petitioner Viraj Holdings challenges the arbitral award dated 18-1-2000 made by the Arbitrator at the National Stock Exchange. By the award, the learned Arbitrator has held that respondent No. 1 M/s. Motilal Oswal Securities Pvt. Ltd. is entitled to receive a sum of Rs. 21,66,489.73.2. The first ground of challenge made by Mr. Kamdar, learned counsel for the petitioner, is that the Arbitrator had no jurisdiction to entertain the claim made by the respondent since admittedly no agreement between the petitioner as a sub-broker and the respondent as a broker was executed between the parties.
