2012 (2) TMI 426 - AT - Central ExciseWaiver of pre deposit - Duty demand - Denial of benefit on Notification No. 43/2001 - Held that:- wherein waiver and stay were granted in respect of an amount of duty of excise which was demanded from the assessee on the ground that the benefit of the two notifications could not have been simultaneously availed by them. Both sides have adverted to other factual aspects of the case also. However, for the present purpose, we think we can take a view without detailed discussion on such factual details. Prima facie, any violation of conditions of the customs notification would have resulted in a demand of customs duty on the imported materials. The Revenue has no case that the packing materials were procured indigenously by the appellant without following the procedure laid down under Notification No. 43/2001-C.E. (N.T.). This notification prima facie does not refer to any customs exemption notification. On these facts, prima facie, the appellant can claim waiver of pre-deposit and stay of recovery on the strength of the Stay Order cited by the counsel. It is ordered accordingly. In the result, there will be waiver and stay in respect of the duty and penalty amounts - Stay granted.
