                           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.
