2003 (8) TMI 48 - SC ORDER

2003 (8) TMI 47 - SUPREME COURT
Countervailing duty - Tribunal held that goods imported were spinning waste arising during the conversion of man-made fibres as yarn and not waste arising in relation to manufacture of fibre itself or man-made filament yarn - Held that:- Department had not produced any material to show that the goods in question would not be a 'waste' and it was submitted that the decision in R.K. Synthetics and Fibres Pvt. Ltd. (1985 (12) TMI 63 - HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY) would squarely apply to the facts of the case. It is in those circumstances the Tribunal declined to interfere with the order made by the Collector. We find the decision in R.K. Synthetics and Fibres Pvt. Ltd.'s case does not seem to have been carried to this Court and the Tribunal having held that on the material available before it, they had to hold that it was 'waste' and not otherwise. When the Tribunal has come to the conclusion on facts, we are not inclined to interfere with the same - Decided against Revenue.

2003 (8) TMI 46 - SUPREME COURT
Classification of electric fans of different varieties - Held that:- Restore the decision of the Collector (Appeals who based his decision on the fact that the fans in question were designed primarily as table fans, although they were capable for being hung from wall or ceiling. He rightly pointed out that, because of the peculiarity of design and manufacture, the concerned fans were entirely different from regular cabin fans which could not be adapted as table fans; also basing his decision on the description of the fans in the literature distributed by the appellants. The literature describes it predominantly as a table fan, though capable of being fixed on the wall or ceiling thus attracting ad valorem duty of 5% under T.I. No. 33(1)(a). There was no justification for the CEGAT to interfere with the order of the Collector (Appeals). In favour of assessee.

2003 (8) TMI 45 - SUPREME COURT
Export - Denial of Rebate claim - Short duty paid - Held that:- Even though M/s. Gopi Synthetics has since paid the duty and it has been finally held that there was no fraud, collusion or any wilful mis-statement or suppression of facts, rebate is being denied to the appellants. This is being done on the specious plea that it was the duty of the appellants, before he exported the goods, to see that the correct amount of duty had been paid. We are unable to accept this submission. Benefit of rebate is not to be denied because there is short payment. Benefit can be denied only if there is short payment by reason of fraud, collusion or any wilful mis-statement or suppression of facts. Once it has been held that there was no fraud, collusion or any wilful mis-statement or suppression of facts on the part of the party who was to pay the duty then the exporter cannot be denied rebate. - appellants will be entitled to rebate under the Notification - Decided in favour of assessee.

Collector of Central Excise, Bombay - [1996 (11) TMI 68 - SUPREME COURT OF INDIA] and in Johnson & Johnson Ltd. v.

Penalty - Alteration in computation - Held that:- When the basis for computation of excise duty has been altered by the Tribunal, it may not be correct to levy penalty. Therefore, in the facts and circumstances of the case we think there is no basis to levy any penalty upon the appellants. The order made by the authorities, as affirmed by the Tribunal is set aside to that limited extent. In other respects, the order of the Tribunal shall remain undisturbed - Decided partly in favour of assessee.

2003 (8) TMI 42 - SUPREME COURT
Application for refund claim - Held that:- . Merely because the departmental authorities took a long time to process the application for refund, the right of the appellant does not get defeated by the subsequent amendment made in sub-rule (5) of Rule 9B. The Commissioner of Central Excise and the CEGAT were, therefore, justified in holding that the claim for refund made by the appellant had to be decided according to the law laid down by this Court in Mafatlal Industries Ltd. (1996 (12) TMI 50 - SUPREME COURT OF INDIA) and would not be governed by the proviso to sub-rule (5) of Rule 9B.
The restrictions in Section 11A and Section 11B would not apply to refund claims consequent upon finalisation of provisional assessment orders. In favour of assessee.

2003 (8) TMI 40 - DELHI HIGH COURT
Property - income-tax dues of the sub-lessee - Even the sale certificate issued does not mention any liability towards the unearned increase and rightly so, since that was not a condition of the auction. Thus, there can be no question of burdening the petitioner with the said liability. If the terms of the sub-lease deed are taken into account, it is the sub-lessee who is liable to pay the amount and not the purchasers and if the CIT claims to have stepped into the shoes of the sub-lessee and executed the sale certificate in favour of the purchasers, then the liability is of the sub-lessee or the CIT, but certainly not of the purchasers. - Writ petition is allowed

2003 (8) TMI 39 - ALLAHABAD HIGH COURT
Question of fact or Question of law - Whether the purchases were bogus or not, is a pure question of fact, and this court cannot interfere with the same in this appeal under section 260A. - It must be remembered that in an appeal under section 260A of the Income-tax Act, this court cannot go into questions of fact, and can only interfere when there is error of law in the impugned order. This court under section 260A is not sitting like a court of first appeal and hence cannot interfere with the findings of fact of the Tribunal.

2003 (8) TMI 38 - HIMACHAL PRADESH HIGH COURT
Appeal - Whether the memorandum of appeal returned by the Delhi High Court for want of territorial jurisdiction presented as such to the Himachal Pradesh High Court is proper? - We hold that no properly constituted appeal has been filed in this court and the memo of appeal filed by the appellant in the Delhi High Court as has been filed by the appellant in this court on being returned to it cannot be a substitute and hence cannot be treated as an appeal filed in this court under section 260A of the Income-tax Act - In view of the dismissal of the main appeal, the present application shall stand dismissed.

2003 (8) TMI 37 - PUNJAB AND HARYANA HIGH COURT
Whether, on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the Income-tax Appellate Tribunal was right in law in holding that interest amounting to Rs. 1,17,975 received on arrears of salary after grant of higher pay scale by the Punjab and Haryana High Court is not taxable ? - The present is not a case where the assessee might have been awarded interest under a statute sequent upon grant of arrears of salary on account of higher pay scale, but in fact paid interest in the discretion of this court vested in it under article , of the Constitution of India. The grant of interest was in the absolute discretion of the court and so would be the rate of interest in a case of this kind – Thus, the question, as referred by the Tribunal and as extracted above is answered in favour of the assessee and against the Department

This being a finding of fact, cannot be reopened by us in appeal.

This writ petition has been filed for revision of the interest amount and also challenging the order under section 201(1A) of the Income-tax Act, 1961 - whether under the said provision where the tax has been deducted at source (TDS), but it is deposited at a belated stage, the interest payable is simple or compound?
