2013 (12) TMI 457 - AT - Central ExciseExtension of stay - operation of the orders expired in terms of the 2nd and 3rd pvosisos to Section 35C(2A) of the Central Excise Act, 1944 – Held that:- An order of waiver of pre-deposit granted under provisions of Section 35F does not, either expressly or by any compelling implication, have a legislatively enjoined sunset period. Waiver of pre-deposit granted always operates during pendency of the appeal. Pre-deposit is a threshold requirement for triggering the substantive jurisdiction of the Tribunal. Pendency of the appeals are not on account of any conduct of the appellants but on account of pendency of a large number of older appeals and a critical supply/demand mismatch in the Tribunal - it is appropriate to grant extension of the stay orders earlier granted, to operate during the pendency of the appeals – Decided in favour of Assessee.
