2015 (11) TMI 1343 - AT - Central ExciseClandestine removal of goods (chocolates ) - Destruction of the sample - drawing samples, without payment of Central Excise duty for in-house testing of quality of the goods manufactured and without following any procedure under the Central Excise law, on hourly basis, daily for all the 3 shifts - Penalty u/s 11AC - Held that:- There is no finding of any misstatement and/or contumacious conduct and/or suppression of the records by the appellant-assessee. Further, I find that proper records have been maintained of the drawal of samples in the usual course of business. Only for the sake of absence of a column mentioning the date of destruction of the sample, without there being any finding as to clearance or sale of any sample products by the assessee, no adverse inference can be drawn based on presumptions and assumptions. In this view of the matter, I set aside the impugned order. - Decided in favour of assessee.
