8. In other case reported in MANU/SC/0875/2003 : (2004)
13 SCC 113: 2003 (157) E.L.T. 500 (S.C.) (Derm Snuff (P) Ltd.
v. Commissioner of Central Excise, Chandigarh) relied on by
the Revenue, the Supreme Court has in para 5 dealt with the
issue relating to actual dispute involved herein, but the same
relates to cause of action. In that case, the Hon'ble Supreme
Court was called upon to decide starting date of period of
limitation, whether it is from the date on which identical third
party's case or the assessee's own case was finally decided by
the Tribunal. In the case cited above, the payment was made
under protest and the assessee originally classified the products
under sub-heading 2404.60. Whereas, the Revenue classified
the products under sub-heading 2404.50. The CESTAT in the

case of another assessee held the same product to be classifiable
under the Heading 2404.60 and the same was accepted by the
Tribunal in favour of the assessee. On the basis of such
decision, the appellant filed the application for refund of the
duty paid under protest. In the meanwhile, the assessee's own
case involving same issue came to be decided on 28.08.2003 in
favour of the assessee on the basis of the identical finding that
the assessee's product would be classifiable under sub-heading
2404.60 and not under 2404.50. When the question to be
determined whether the cause of action for refund claim arises
after disposal of the assessee's own case or after disposal of the
third party- assessee's case, the Hon'ble Supreme Court in para 5
held mat the relevant date from which the period of limitation
starts to run is from the date on which the assessee's own case
finally decided by the Tribunal Le. on 28-8-2003. Nevertheless,
it is held that the payment of duty was made under protest was
within time and no limitation was applicable to the refund claim
of such duty and refund was hence ordered and the same was
also upheld by the Supreme Court. Thus, the facts involved in

C.M.A(MD)No.368 of 2022
both the cases decided by the Supreme Court, were identical and
the Supreme Court, while dealing with the issue relating to
period of limitation, uniformly held that no limitation was
applicable to the payment made under protest. The Hon'ble
Supreme Court in the earlier judgment clearly observed that the
payment made, when the assessee has been challenging the
earlier levy of duty, is deemed to be under protest and not
otherwise. Hence, the combined appreciation of both the cases
decided by the Supreme Court would lead to an irresistible
inference that the payment made herein is also deemed to be
under protest and no limitation is applicable and the claim is
maintainable and is rightly decided by the CESTAT.
S. And H. Gears Pvt. Ltd. vs Commissioner Of Customs on 3 February, 2004
24. It will also be relevant to take note of the judgment of the
Bombay High Court in S. and H. Gears Pvt. Ltd. v. Commissioner of
Customs, reported in 2004 (167) ELT 538, where it was held that the
very filing of an appeal against an assessment order amounts to payment
of duty under protest. A similar view was taken by the Delhi High Court
in Hutchisom Max Telecom Pvt. Ltd. Commissioner of Central Excise,
reported in 2004 (165) ELT 175, wherein it was held that filing of an
appeal itself amounts to protest and hence, the refund cannot be denied
on the ground of limitation when the dis allowance of the benefits of the
notification was challenged by the assessee and such benefit was finally
allowed by the tribunal.
