Upper Ganges Sugar Mills Ltd vs Collector Of Central Excise on 12 October, 1984
The decision of this Tribunal in Rishi Enterprises, Bombay v. Collector of Central Excise, Bombay [1984 (15)E.L.T. 260] relied upon by appellants also does not help the appellants in the present case. In that case Special Bench 'D' of the Tribunal found that the goods were removed within the knowledge of the excise authorities and the excise authorities did not take any step to collect the duty amount and in those circumstances it was held that the provisions of Rule 9(2) would not be applicable in that case but here in the case before us the appellants removed the goods without the knowledge and consent of the excise authorities and the excise authorities were never a consenting party in getting the goods removed without payment of duty.
