Commissioner Of Central Excise vs M/S. Jellalpore Tea Estate on 15 March, 2011
Similarly, in Commissioner of Central Excise
v. Jellalpore Tea Estate [2011 (268) E.L.T. 14 (Gau.)], the

the Section 58 of the Customs Act, 1962 appellants
have contravened the provisions to that extent and
hence section 23 should not be applicable.
5.8 Appellants inn their appeal have relied upon
certain decisions which are clearly distinguishable as
they relate to destruction of goods prior to clearance
from the port a\or prior to them being put to use.
5.9 Further appellants in their submission have relied
upon following decisions in their support:
