Consequently, the Tribunal dismissed the appeal for failure to make the pre-deposit by the assessee. In any case, the pre-deposit was 7.5% of the total amount of duty.

In view of the above, we do not find any ground to interfere with the order passed by the Tribunal dismissing the appeal filed by the assessee for failure to make the pre-deposit. Thus, no substantial question of law arises. Consequently, finding no merit in the appeal, the same is hereby dismissed. - - TaxTMI - ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X
