9. Coming to the facts of the present case, a mere fact
that notification under which appellants were claiming
exemption was not applicable to them, at the time of first
audit, there was no reason with the appellant to
discontinue the availment of exemption of 'NIL' duty.
Appellant stopped availing the same immediately it was
pointed out by department at the time of 2nd audit. Thus
there seems no mis-statement or suppression. The
appellant, in addition, immediately paid the differential
duty that too with interest and even penalty, question of
any intent of evading duty by the appellant does not at all

arise. I draw support from Hon'ble Apex Court decision in
the case of Pahwa Chemicals Private Limited vs
Commissioner of Central Excise, Delhi reported as
[2005 (189) ELT 257 (SC)] wherein it was held that
mere failure to declare does not amount to willful mis-
declaration or willful suppression. There must be some
positive act on the part of the party to establish either
willful mis-declaration or willful suppression. When all facts
are before the Department.

Union Of India vs Ashok Kumar Sharma on 28 August, 2020
13. Hon'ble Apex Court in the case of Union of India vs
Ashok Kumar and Ors. reported as [(2005) 8 SCC 760]
observed that "it cannot be overlooked that burden of
establishing mala fides is very heavy on the person who
alleges it. The allegations of mala fides are often more
easily made than proved, and the very seriousness of such
allegations demand proof of a high order of credibility."

Nizam Sugar Factory vs Collector Of Central Excise on 4 October, 1999
3. It is submitted that demand raised vide the
impugned Show Cause Notice was barred by time as it was
issued after expiry of 5 years. There was no alleged
suppression on the part of the appellant. The Department
had already conduced the audit for the period 2012-2013
as was conducted in the year 2013, but no such objection
was ever raised by them and no infirmity was pointed out
and no demand was raised. The present Show Cause
Notice includes the demand for the said period also which
is legally not sustainable. The appellant was otherwise
maintaining all relevant records which were being regularly
audited by the Department. Question of any suppression
of facts or collusion does not at all arise. Learned
Counsel has submitted that the order under challenge is
liable to be set aside on this ground itself. The position in
the case of Nizam Sugar Factory vs Collector of
Central Excise A.P. reported as [2006 (197) ELT 465
(SC)] has been impressed upon. It is further submitted
that the penalty was not at all imposable for want of any
mensrea with the appellant to evade the payment of duty.
