2007 (8) TMI 707 - HC - Central ExciseConstitutional validity of the Central Government Notification - Classification of goods - “Flavoured milk of animal origin” - classifiable under Chapter 0402 - Exemption from duty - HELD THAT:- In view of the Notification, the authority which has issued the show-cause notice on 16-4-2007 would simply proceed on the basis of the said classification code given by the Central Government in the Notification dated 15-6-2007 to which the petitioners have already given reply on 10-7-2007. We are of the view that looking to the subject matter of the controversy raised in the petition, this appears to be an eminently fit case where the petitioners should make a representation to the Central Government. Accordingly, if the petitioners make such a representation within one week from today, it is expected that the Central Government will decide the same as expeditiously as possible and preferably within one month from the date of receipt of the representation. As regards pendency of the proceedings arising from the show-cause notice, it will be open to the petitioners to make a request before the Commissioner of Central Excise to adjourn the hearing suitably so as to await the decision of the Central Government on the representation. We are sure that such a request will be considered by the Commissioner in the proper perspective when the matter comes up for hearing before the Commissioner on 16-8-2007. The petition stands disposed of in the above terms.
