Decided on: Apr-07-2014

B.S.V. Murthy, J. 1. All the stay applications and appeals taken up in this order, have come up before us because the appeals have been rejected on the ground that the appellants did not fulfill the conditions of stay orders. 2. After hearing all the appellants and the departments representatives, it was found that in all these cases, the decisions have to be taken which can be very briefly summarized. Therefore, we consider it appropriate that a common order is passed. 3. Before we proceed, it is necessary to take note of the submission made by the learned A.R. who submitted that the decision of Honble High Court of A.P. in the case of M/s Hira Ferro Alloys Ltd.

Heard both sides and perused the records. 3. On perusal of the records, we find that both the impugned orders are passed by the Commissioner (Appeals), Ahmedabad in respect of the rebate claims filed by the respondent. We at the outset like to record that the revenue is pursuing legal remedies at a wrong forum by filing these many appeals before us. Suffice to say that before filing all these appeals, the concerned officers should have looked in to provisions of Section 35B of the Central Excise Act, 1944, the exercise of the department in filing these appeals is an exercise in futile, before this forum. Provisions of Section 35B(1) First Proviso and clause (b) of such First Proviso, specifically debars the Tribunal from entertaining an appeal which is in respect of rejectio...
