1. Heard Shri Shah the learned senior Counsel with Mr. B.I. Dalvi for the petitioner and Mr. S.C. Naidu the learned Counsel for the respondent Nos. 1 and 2 petitioner while passing the order, and instead it took into consideration the financial capacity of RCF only.

If the contractor had any grievance in this regard it had to take up the matter with the principal employer.(Para 7)2.

The petitioner challenges the order passed by the Collector, Central Excise (Appeals) dt. 10-11-1982 which was confirmed by an order passed by the Customs Excise and Gold Control Tribunal (for short CEGAT) dt. 23-9-1993. The petitioner filed appeal against the order passed by the Superintendent, Central Excise on the application of the petitioner. The petitioner claimed exemption from payment of excise duty. The appeal filed by the petitioner was dismissed on the ground that the Appellate Authority is not a Court and the provisions of Section 5 of the Limitation Act are not applicable to the proceedings of the appeal. This finding was reached because the petitioner sought condonation of delay of four years in filing appeal before the Collector (appeals). It is an admitted position that the petitioner did not prefer a separate application for condonation of delay but in the body of the appeal memo itself the petitioner had prayed for condonation of delay. Shri K.B....
