Commissioner vs Shilpa on 25 February, 2010
3. During
the pendency of this Tax Appeal, the Revenue has moved Civil
Application No.213/2008 for stay against the operation,
implementation and execution of the judgment and order dated
27.11.2007/06.02.2008 passed by the Customs, Excise and Service Tax
Appellate Tribunal, West Zonal Bench, Ahmedabad in Appeal
No.E/368/2006. The said Civil Application was rejected by this Court
on 05.02.2010, by observing that pursuant to the order passed by the
Tribunal, the refund has already been received by the assessee and
hence there is no question of staying the order passed by the
Tribunal. The Court has, further, observed that even while passing
the order, the Tribunal has relied on the order in the case of Amitex
Silk Pvt. Ltd. vs. Commissioner of Central Excise 2006 (194) ELT 344
(Tri.Delhi). The Revenue has challenged the said order of the
Tribunal before the Apex Court and though the appeal was admitted by
the Apex Court, the stay was not permitted.
