1 - 5 of 5 (0.20 seconds)Section 35 in The Central Excise Act, 1944 [Entire Act]
Union Of India And Another vs G.M. Kokil And Others on 21 March, 1984
The second proviso of Rule 57G of the Rules specifically
provides that the manufacture shall not take credit after six
months of the date of issue of any of the documents specified in
the first proviso to this sub-rule. This provision specifically
provides that no modvat credit shall be made available to the
assessee, if such modvat credit was claimed after a period of
six months from the date of issuance of the documents. But in
the present case, as has been stated hereinabove, the
respondent had applied modvat credit for the first time in its
notification on 4-9-1996 i.e., during the year in which modvat
credit was claimed under the provision contained in Rule 57H.
Under Rule 57H of the Rules, there is no provision for claiming
such modvat credit beyond the period of six months from the
date of issuance of documents. The aforesaid rule begins with
the non obstante clause `Notwithstanding anything contained
in Rule 57G', meaning thereby that the provision of Rule 57G of
the Rules were specifically excluded from the provision of Rule
57H and nothing contained in Rule 57G of the Rules was
applicable for the applicability of Rule 57H. In the present case,
as indicated hereinabove, the modvat credit which was claimed
by the respondent for the first time on 4-9-1996, the
Commissioner (Appeals) as well as the Tribunal after
considering the provisions as contained in Rule 57H of the Rules
have rightly recorded the finding that the provision of Rules
57H being a transitional provision and begins with the non
obstante clause, as have been quoted hereinabove, and
excludes the provision which are contained in Rule 57G of the
Rules. Thus, the denial by the Assessing Officer of modvat
credit to the respondent merely on the ground that the same
was claimed beyond the period of six months was not justified.
A clause beginning with non obstante clause, is something
appended to a provision with a view to give overriding effect to
the provision, in case there is some conflict of the provision with
over provision. [See: Union of India vs. G.N. Kokil, AIR
1984 SC 1022, T.R. Thandur vs. Union of India, AIR 1996
SC 1643.]
We do not find any error in the impugned order and
involvement of any question of law to be referred to this Court.
