Pingle, Consultant for the appellant Shri H.M. Dixit, AC (AR) for the respondent ORDER The appellant M/s Kagaz Packaging has brought this appeal against the order of the Commissioner(Appeals) in refusing to condone delay of 21 days in filing appeal before him and not going to the merit of the case concerning imposition of excise duty on packaging material used for export of foods along with interest and penalty awarded by the first adjudicating authority on the ground that appellant failed to produce rewarehousing certificate from the concerned authority ag .....

It is found from the appeal memo and other documents available on record the initial appeal was preferred before the Commissioner (Appeals) holding the same to have been filed within the limitation period and the date of receipt of order-in-original was shown as 05.04.2010 while on enquiry made from the Nashik Commissionerate Division III by the Commissioner (Appeals), it was found untrue as the same order was dispatched by the Registered post AD on 04.03.2010 and the AD was received back on 15.03.2010.

In fact the liability of consignor would cease upon receipt of its copy from the consignor, still it cannot be believed that the copies of such receipt annexed to the appeal memo were not anti-dated or subsequently manufactured in view of the conduct of the appellant noticed in suppress .....
