2019 (9) TMI 1195 - CESTAT MUMBAIMaintainability of appeal - requirement of pre-deposit - section 35F of Central Excise Act, 1944 - HELD THAT:- The maintainability of appeal, with concurrent stay of recovery of remaining demand and/or fines/penalties, are subject to pre-deposit prescribed in section 35F of Central Excise Act, 1944. Prior to such prescription, the Tribunal was vested with discretion to stay further recovery till the outcome of the appeal was decided subject to such pre-deposit as was prescribed by the Tribunal. In the changed circumstances of statutory disbarment of recovery beyond that prescribed in section 35F of Central Excise Act, 1944, an application for early disposal is not only a circumventing of this statutory disbarment but also directly in breach of legislative disbarment. A plea by Revenue based only on revenue consideration for early hearing of appeal of assessee or individual does not merit consideration. Application rejected.
