1985 (11) TMI 66 - HC - Central Excise

Summary

The High Court dismissed the writ petition seeking stay of recovery of duty, penalty, and redemption fine, as the petitioner had not yet filed an appeal within the prescribed time under Section 35-B of the Central Excises and Salt Act, 1944. The court noted that recovery proceedings should not be initiated for four months from the date of communication, which in this case was until 11th February, 1985. The petitioner was advised to seek stay before the appellate authority, and the court did not pass any stay order.
