... ... ... ... ..... kesh Ranjan Agrawal appearing for the respondent-assessee. 5. It is agreed between the learned counsel for the parties that both the questions have to be answered in favour of the assessee and against the revenue in view of the decision of this Court in CIT v. Dhampur Sugar Mills Ltd. (No. 1) 2005 274 ITR 340 1, wherein this Court has held that interest on excess levy sugar price is an allowable deduction and in ITR No. 65 of 1996 - CIT v. Dhampur Sugar Mills Ltd. decided on 28-4-2005, wherein this Court has held that the question of disallowance of interest does not arise in the case where the assessee-company had not charged interest on the advances given to its subsidiaries, namely, M/s. Dhampur Yeast Company and M/s. U.P. Straw Boards & Agro Products Ltd. 6. Respectfully following the aforesaid two decisions, we answer the questions referred to us in the affirmative, that is, in favour of assessee and against the revenue.

... ... ... ... ..... urt would be turning a blind eye and a deaf ear to the illegality in investigation which has been brought to its notice at the earliest stage. However, it also does not mean that the petitioner is entitled to a discharge and the closure of the case against him. As pointed out in Rishbud's case and Mubarak Ali's case, reinvestigation is to be ordered in the context of the provisions of Section 6A of the said Act. While the file is to be kept pending before Special Judge, approval of the Central Government is to be sought for investigation. If approval is accorded then the matter shall be re-investigated as per prescribed procedure and the material gathered in such re-investigation shall be placed before the Special Judge for further proceedings in accordance with law. If the approval is not given by the Central Government then the same shall be notified to the Special Judge who shall then close the case. 30. With these directions this revision petition is disposed of.

... ... ... ... ..... ment of modvat credit on such materials. Whatever allegations have been made in the show cause notice, the Commissioner (Appeals) has dealt with each of the allegations by giving adequate reasoning and sufficient discussion. Perhaps the availment of modvat credit on the fake invoices to the rune of ₹ 1,06,376/ - must be the basis for the department to allege about non-receipt of the inputs on which the original authority gave his finding. As a matter of fact, this part of allegation is found correct and the Commissioner (Appeals) has confirmed the same in his impugned order while setting aside the interest and penalty on the said amount since it was paid much prior to issue of show cause notice. I have also gone through the grounds of appeal which are found to be not valid and impress me to take a different view on the finding arrived at by the Commissioner (Appeals). Therefore, in my considered view, the revenue appeal lacks merits. Accordingly the appeal is rejected.

... ... ... ... ..... itals Enterprises Ltd. v. Union of India 2001 (133) E.L.T. 58 (Mad.) , this Court considered the issue in a batch of writ petitions on merit, set aside the order passed by the authorities and remitted the matter back-to re-consider the issue. As against the said decision, writ appeals are pending before the Division Bench. Not only before this Court, but also before several other High Courts, the similar action taken by the authorities were challenged and some writ petitions and writ appeals are pending. Having regard to the totality of the circumstances and in view of the fact that a large number of writ petitions and writ appeals pending, on merits, this Court is of the view that the delay can be condoned. 4. Accordingly, the order non-suiting the petitioner for condonation of delay is hereby set aside. The writ petition is allowed. The Tribunal is directed to take up the appeal on file and decide the issue on merits. No costs. Consequently, the above MP is dismissed.

... ... ... ... ..... available having been substituted by new Cenvat Rules with effect from 31/03/2000. As such, it is their contention that since the said provision was not in existence on the date of issuance of show cause notice, the notices liable to be struck down on this ground only. For the above proposition they relied upon the Tribunal's decision in the case of Sunrise Structurals and Engineering Ltd., and Others vs. CCE, 2004(117)ECR 307(T). 3. I find that the Tribunal in the above referred decision has held that the law applicable on the date of issuance of show cause notice has to be invoked and when Rule 57I was not in existence in the statute book and there was no saving clause, the show cause notice cannot be sustained. Inasmuch as in the present case also show cause notice was issued by invoking Rule 57I, which was not in the statute book, I hold that the same cannot be upheld. Accordingly, on this short ground itself the appeal is allowed and the impugned order is set aside.

I find that the appellant was availing the credit and paying duty out of the same, as such, the entire situation was revenue neutral. The issue is entirely covered by the Tribunal's decision in the case of PSL Holdings vs. CCE, Rajkot (2003 (156) ELT 602 (Tri.-Mumbai) and Systematic Steel Industries Ltd. vs. CCE, Vapi (2005 (191) ELT 663 (Tri.-Mumbai) and Commissioner of Central Excise and Customs, (Appeals) Ahmedabad vs. Narayan Polyplast (2005 (179) ELT 20 (S.C.). 3. In view of the above, I set aside the impugned order and allow the appeal with consequential relief to the appellants.

... ... ... ... ..... is not necessary that the said agent must deal with the goods directly.’ The decision in Prabhat Zarda Factory was dissented by another Bench of the Tribunal in Larsen & Toubro Ltd. v. CCE - 2006 (1) S.T.R. 261 (Tri.-Del) wherein it was held that the decision in Prabhat Zarda Factory laying down procurement of orders on commission basis without physical handling of the goods to be covered by the entry of clearing and forwarding is not the correct statement of law. The matter has been referred to a Larger Bench. 9. It is clear from the above discussion that the activity of filling up the forms for valuation goods for payment of Octroi, making Octroi payment and completing related legal formalities on behalf of the client cannot be classified under the category of clearing and forwarding services. Accordingly, the impugned order cannot be sustained and has to be set aside. 10. In view of the above, the impugned order is set aside and the appeal is allowed.

... ... ... ... ..... was not per se enough for making the addition. The Tribunal affirmed the order of the CIT(A). It was held that the assessing officer having accepted gross profit rate and having not pointed out any suppressed sales or inflated purchases or any other discrepancy in the books of account, addition was not justified merely on the ground that there was variation in the stock statement furnished to the bank and the closing stock in the accounts books. 3. We have perused the impugned order and heard learned counsel for the revenue. 4. The finding recorded by the Tribunal is a pure finding of fact. The counsel for the revenue could not point anything to show that the findings recorded by the Tribunal are perverse. 5. No substantial question of law arises from the order of the Tribunal. Further, we find that ITA No.193 of 2005 (CIT v. Shree Vardhman Rice & General Mills), raising a similar question of law, was dismissed by this Court on August 16,2005. 6. The appeal is dismissed.

... ... ... ... ..... e case of AR. Ashish V. Patil v. CCE 2006 5 STT 325 (Mum. - CESTAT) wherein Tribunal has upheld the penalty imposed by the adjudicating authority and set aside the penalty imposed by the Commissioner (Appeals) on similar ground. 3. After hearing and perusal of the records, I find that penalty imposed by the Commissioner (Appeals) is unduly harsh. I therefore, following the ratio of the above orders, set aside the impugned order and restore the penalty amount under section 76 of the Finance Act, 1994 to the originally determined amount. The appeal is allowed in above terms.
