In the instant case, no such situation exits and therefore it cannot be said that the payment of ₹ 75 lacs by the applicant by utilizing the Cenvat credit of another unit is revenue neutral. 15. The applicant is therefore directed to make payment of ₹ 75 lacs as settled by the Commission by cash or by utilization of the Cenvat credit amount if available in his own factory account immediately. The interest liability will also have to be recalculated accordingly by the Jurisdictional Commissioner and be informed to the applicant who should pay the same within 30 days from the receipt of this order.

... ... ... ... ..... 'ble Supreme Court upheld the order of the lower authority where waiver is granted on financial hardship. 7. We find that Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Benara Valves Ltd. (supra) while interpreting the provisions of Section 35F of the Central Excise Act held that "the Tribunal while dealing with the application has to consider materials to be placed by the assessee relating to undue hardship and also to stipulate condition as required to safeguard the interest of revenue". In view of the above decision and keeping in view of the facts and circumstances of the case, financial hardship and interest of Revenue, the applicant is directed to deposit an amount of ₹ 2 crores (Rupees two crores only) within a period of eight weeks and report compliance on 26/09/2011. Subject to such report of compliance, pre-deposit of balance amount of duty is waived and recovery therefore stayed till the disposal of the appeals. Pronounced and dictated in open Court.

... ... ... ... ..... hown. Revenue’s case was that no rewarehousing certificates for these ARE-3s were produced but the adjudicating authority has recorded a finding that the re-conciliation of the ARE-3s has been carried out and there is no demand of duty as the assessee was able to show rewarehousing of goods, and he dropped the demand of duty but imposed penalty. In our considered view at this juncture the imposition of penalty under Rule 27 of the Central Excise Rules, 2002 based upon quantification of number of ARE-3s is uncalled for, as under the said rule there is a provision of imposition of general penalty of ₹ 5,000/- (Rupees five thousand only). Hence, we are of the view that the appellant has made out a prima facie case for the waiver of the pre-deposit of the penalty imposed by the adjudicating authority. Application for waiver of pre-deposit of the penalty is allowed and recovery thereof stayed till the disposal of the appeal. (Pronounced and dictated in the open Court)

... ... ... ... ..... tained central excise registration and suppressed the actual value with the intention to evade central excise duty. This has resulted in issuance of show cause notice and the adjudicatory order was passed by the Jt. Commissioner, Central Excise on 30.11.1999 imposing the duty of ₹ 6,04,624/- and penalty of ₹ 3 lacs. The assessee aggrieved by this order filed an appeal before the CIT(A) who upheld this portion of the order vide order dated 28.02.2002. Thereafter, the assessee preferred an appeal before the CESTAT which passed an order on 03.12.2003 sustaining the duty but held that the penalty imposed was on the higher side and reduced the same to ₹ 60,000/-. It is in these circumstances that the revenue sought a reference which resulted in the question of law framed aforesaid. In view of the authoritative pronouncement of the Supreme court, the question has to be answered in the negative and against the assessee. The appeal, accordingly, stands disposed of.

... ... ... ... ..... ced that the witnesses consistently stated that the appellant had removed fabrics valued at ₹ 22/- per square meter without the payment of duty during the period of dispute. The quantity of fabrics which was removed, was stated by the Proprietor and his clerk in their respective statements. The retraction was only in a reply to the notice to show cause. Moreover, the clerk, who was dealing with excise matters, provided quantitative details of the clandestine removal of fabrics and that statement was not controverted. On this finding of fact, the Tribunal was justified in sustaining the demand of duty and the penalty imposed on the appellant. The Tribunal also noted that in the reply to the notice to show cause, the appellant conceded that the fabrics seized by the Officers, who visited the factory, were in quantities which were in excess over what was accounted in the statutory records. 2. Hence, no substantial question of law would arise. The appeal is dismissed.

... ... ... ... ..... not so excessive that they may be treated to be unjust or arbitrary. These Rules are reasonable in their operation and do not cause undue hardship to the distiller. The overtime fees is to be paid only if the distiller decides to run the distillery overtime. In the present case, the Rules have stood for the last 45 years. They have been amended by increasing the prescribed overtime fees for four times which is neither excessive nor can be treated to be excessive on the distiller makes huge profits in making production overtime. For the aforesaid reasons, we do not find that any of the submissions namely the rules being ultra-vires to the Act and not co-relative to the services rendered by the department,or oppressive or harsh are established. We may also observe that prescription of overtime fees is the condition of the license and that by the nature of its imposition it is a fee connected with parting in the privilege to run the distillery. The writ petitions are dismissed.
