Patidar Products vs Bhavnagar on 18 October, 2022
CESTAT
in the case of Sober Plastic Pvt. Ltd. v. CCE [2002 (139) E.L.T. 562 (T)] has
held that demand based on weighment slips, slips recovered from
Dharamkanta etc. relied upon for raising demand not verified with reference
to transactions is not sustainable. In the present matter we also observed
that department nowhere conducted the investigation at the end of all the
persons whose names are mentioned in said Kaccha Chits. Further, it is
settled position of law that proof and evidence of purchase of raw materials
and sell of final product clandestinely is necessary to establish the allegation
of suppression of production and clandestine removal of goods and that the
allegation are to be proved with affirmative evidences.
