2016 (9) TMI 1172 - AT - Central ExciseExport of goods procured against CT-1 certificate after processing and not in the same condition - entitlement of benefit of Notification No. 42/2001 CE(NT) dated 26.06.2001 - contravention of condition of Notification - Held that:- there is no allegation against the appellant for non filing of undertaking/declaration of the department and the fact of the goods has not been disputed by both the sides. In that circumstances, on the decisions of I.O.C Ltd. Vs. Commissioner of Central Excise, Calcutta-II [2004 (6) TMI 222 - CESTAT, KOLKATA] is applicable to the facts of this case wherein this tribunal observed that the commissioner in his order has also admitted that the documents have been filed and the facts of export have been accepted. The department's grievance is that the superintendent of Central Excise did not attend the export. It was not required. The appellant was governed by self removal procedure and to such cases Rule 173-0 was applied. It was the appellant's option to export under supervision of either the Excise authorities or the Customs Authorities. The commissioner is competent to relax the procedural provision under Rule 12/13 or the Central Excise rules, 1944. In the instant case, it was incumbent upon the Commissioner to grant relaxation from the procedure from the procedural provisions. This Tribunal has observed that when the show cause notice itself admits that export have been taken place after, there is no procedural irregularities in removal of the goods otherwise the SRN was not cleared, then the refinery operations would have come to stoppage. In this case, it is not disputed the goods procured by the appellant has been exported, therefore, I hold that the appellant has complied with conditions of the said notification and there is no demand of duty is sustainable against the appellant. - Decided in favour of appellant
