Commissioner of Central Excise Vs. Deluxe Plywood (P) Ltd.

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Mumbai

Decided on: Jun-27-2005

Reported in: (2005)(192)ELT422Tri(Mum.)bai

1. The Revenue is aggrieved by that portion of the order of the Commissioner (Appeals) by which he has held that the show cause notice dated 2.3.93 for demand of differential duty is barred by limitation, as according to them the duty was provisionally assessed initially and the above assessments were subsequently finalised, and therefore, there was no requirement in law for issue of show cause notice.2. We have heard both sides. The product on which the demand was raised is block-board, the classification of which has been decided by the Supreme Court under Central Excise Tariff sub-heading 4408.90 in the case of Wood Craft Products Ltd. (1995 (71) ELT 23(SC). Therefore, the contention of the assessee that classification of the product should be under CET sub-heading 4410.90 as claimed by them, in the light of Tribunal's final Order No.E/126-133/92-D in their own case, against which no appeal was filed by the Revenue, is not tenable. The further argument that the Commissioner (Appeal...

Deepak Fabrics Vs. Commissioner of Central Excise

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Mumbai

Decided on: Jun-27-2005

Reported in: (2005)(187)ELT335Tri(Mum.)bai

1. The above appeal arises out of the Order of the Commissioner of Central Excise (Appeals), Mumbai upholding the order of the Asstt.Commissioner by which he confirmed the duty demand raised in three show cause notices as a result of denial of benefit of exemption in terms of Notification No. 9/96, dated 23-7-1996 to decatising process carried out by the appellants herein on man-made fabrics.2. None appeared for the respondent in spite of notice. Hence we heard ld. SDR and perused the records.3. We find that the adjudicating authority has relied upon the definition of calendering and decatising in the Fairchilds Dictionary of Textiles to bring out the difference between two processes and to hold that since calendering and not decatising is covered by the exemption under Notification, decatising process which carried out by the appellants is not covered by the benefit of the Notification.According to the dictionary, calendering is a finishing process producing a flat, glossy, smooth su...

Kilburn Engg. Vs. Commissioner of Central Excise

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Mumbai

Decided on: Jun-27-2005

Reported in: (2006)(193)ELT375Tri(Mum.)bai

1. As set out at ground (3) of the Misc. Application dated 11-2-2005, Page 11, the correct totalling of the value comes to Rs. 3,55,24,000/-, as against the erroneously totalled value of Rs. 3,95,66,500/- by the Respondent Based on this wrong totalling, the Respondent had wrongly confirmed the duty demand of Rs. 62,82,895/-, as against the demand coming to Rs. 56,36,135/- based on the correct totalling of the value of the 'SCN'. This has resulted in the Respondent confirming wrongly an amount of Rs. 6,46,770/- as duty + imposing Rs. 6,46,770/- as equal amount of penalty, coming in total to Rs. 12,93,540/- (Pages 47 to 51 of Misc. Appl. Dated 11-2-05).This mistake apparent on the face of the record is not sustainable and is to be corrected, even before deciding the merits of the issue involved, as it is wrong collection of duty and penalty without the authority of law. This is so settled by our Regional Bench of Hon'ble Tribunal in Besterna Chemicals - .1.2 The issue herein is whether ...
