2021 (8) TMI 828 - HC - Central ExciseAppropriate Forum - appeal to be filed before High Court or Supreme Court - Levy of Excise Duty - Superior Kerosene Oil - whether the duty was liable to be paid only as SKO and not payable as on MS or HSD? - HELD THAT:- Sub-Section (1) of Section 35G states that an appeal will not lie before the High Court but before the Supreme Court if “among other things” the matter relates to rate of duty of excise. Therefore, even if one of the many issues relate to the rate of duty, the appeal would still lie before the Hon’ble Apex Court and not before the High Court. The dispute here in any case falls in a very limited area as to the determination of the rate of duty to be paid by the assessee. That being so, this matter lies within the exclusive jurisdiction of the Hon’ble Apex Court under Section 35L of the Act and it is an appeal which cannot be heard by this Court under Section 35G of the Act. Appeal dismissed as not maintainable.
