Larson and Toubro Vs. Commissioner of Central Excise

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Mumbai

Decided on: Jan-24-2003

Reported in: (2003)(161)ELT827Tri(Mum.)bai

2. The appeal is against the order of the Commissioner (Appeals) reducing the penalty imposed on the appellant from Rs. 1.82 lakhs to Rs. 79,000/- approx. The penalty was imposed on the ground that the appellant did not pay duty on the scrap that arose in the manufacture of components of heat exchangers. The scrap emerged between 1995 and 1998 at the premises of the job worker, whereas the duty was paid in June, 2000.3. The contention Mr. R. Viswanathan, Senior Executive of the appellant are these. The duty amount involved is Rs. 1,80,000/- approx. whereas the appellant paid Rs. 500 crores annually. In the larger perspective a sympathetic view should be taken.4. I do not see how these contentions are of any assistance to the appellant. I am not aware of any provision of law which lays down the assessee not to pay duty in proportion to the duty that it paid. I would be surprised if this appellant or any other assessee forgoes such short supply by its suppliers on the ground that it onl...

The trial court has held that for the purpose of allowing the parties to produce the evidence in the form of affidavit, the suit must be of the type wherein evidence could be recorded in terms of un-amended Rule 4 of Order XVIII of CPC and not the suit to which Rule 5 of the Order XVIII is applicable.
