Commissioner Of Central Excise & ... vs M/S Venus Castings (P) Ltd on 5 April, 2000
Shri Mohta, learned senior counsel appearing for the respondent has
raised objection about the maintainability of the appeal contending that since
the present case does not involve determination of any question having a
relation to the rate of duty of customs or to the value of the goods for the
assessment and, therefore, appeal under Section 130E of the Act is not
competent. Learned counsel contends that if the appellant was aggrieved by
the order of the Tribunal, it ought to have taken recourse to the remedy of
reference as provided in Section 130 of the Act and further if aggrieved from
the order made on reference, it could approach this Court by filing a petition
under Article 136 for grant of leave. Learned Attorney General, without
going into the question of maintainability, submits that the present appeal
may be treated as a special leave petition and in support places reliance upon
Commissioner of Central Excise & Customs v. Venus Castings (P) Ltd.
[(2000) 4 SCC 206] where rejecting the similar objection about the
maintainability of the appeals under the Central Excise Act, the appeals were
directed to be converted into special leave petitions and dealt with on merits.
In the circumstances of this case and also considering that this matter has
been pending in this Court for nearly two years, we convert this appeal into
special leave petition, grant leave and proceed to decide the appeal on
merits.

D.S.M. Industries vs Collector Of Central Excise on 20 June, 1997
The Tribunal also held that the demand in respect of consignments
was time barred as the test report was received by the revenue 6 months
before issue of show cause notice. In view of the finding that the charge of
mis-statement and suppressing the correct quality has been established
against the respondent, the demand cannot be held to be time barred. The
conclusion of the Tribunal that the extended period of limitation is not
available to the appellant is clearly erroneous. The reliance by the Tribunal
on the order of Tribunal in the case of S.D. Kemexc Industries v. Collector
of Central Excise, Calcutta [1995 (75) ELT 377] was also misplaced as in
that case, the misdeclaration and suppression had not been established and,
therefore, it was held that the demand was time barred. Clearly, therefore,
the said decision had no applicability to the facts and circumstances of the
present case.
