C.E.Appeal No. 40 of 2005.
=========================
Dated this the 24th day of January, 2008.
C.N.Ramachandran Nair, J.
J U D G M E N T
This appeal is filed against the order of the Customs, Excise and
Service Tax Appellate Tribunal, Bangalore reducing the penalty to
Rs.10,000/- under Section 11AC, not equal to the duty determined on
the ground that the respondent is a sick industry referred to BIFR
scheme. We do not find the Tribunal’s order as illegal or arbitrary.
However, we make it clear that the same will not be treated as a
precedent as to the interpretation of Sec.11AC, by the appellant.
Therefore we dismiss the appeal.
C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, JUDGE.
