1990 (1) TMI 71 - SUPREME COURTWhether the distributors were related persons and hence the prices charged by these distributors to their purchasers should be taken as the assessable value? Held that:- In view of the fact that the distributors of the appellant were finally held not to be related persons regarding the appellant in cases where excise duty has been levied on the footing that the distributors of the appellant were related persons and hence, the price at which the goods were sold to them could not be regarded as the normal price and the excise duty collected in respect of the difference between the price at which the goods were sold by the appellant to its distributors and the price at which the said goods were sold by the distributors to independent buyers, calculated as aforestated, must be held to be excess levy. The order of the Tribunal is set aside and it is held that the assessee is entitled to refund where excise duty has been assessed and collected from the assessee at a higher rate on the footing that the wholesale distributors of the assessee were persons related to it, that is, in respect of the .other categories of sales, namely, retail sales, sales to dealers, sales to State Transport Undertakings and export clearances.
