Sekhon, Member (T) <\/p>\n<p>1. After hearing the stay application for some time it transpires that the appeal itself could be disposed off at this stage. Therefore after waiver of pre-deposit and hearing both sides the appeal is being disposed off.\n<\/p>\n<p>2. The appellants availed modvat credit at 15% of CVD :\n<\/p>\n<p>a) Furnace oil imported by them after paying the duties. Credit was availed on 22\/03\/97 and Bill of Entry was submitted along with RT-12 return to the Range on 04\/04\/97.\n<\/p>\n<p>b) On 03\/05\/97, by Notification No. 14\/97-CE(NT) credit on furnace oil was restricted to the extent of 10% of the duty paid.\n<\/p>\n<p>c) By Section 87 of Finance Act 1997, Notification dated 03\/05\/97 was given retrospective effect from 23\/07\/96.\n<\/p>\n<p>d) Department However took action for implementing the restricted credit by a show cause notice dated 03\/04\/2002 invoking the larger period under Rule 571 of the Rules read with proviso to Section 11A and demanded the reversal of credit of 5% amounting to Rs. 5,78,121\/- with interest.\n<\/p>\n<p>e) The Commissioner (Appeals) upheld the order of the lower authority confirming the re-credit requirement of Rs. 5,78,121\/- imposed of equivalent penalty under Section 11AC and Rs. 1 lakh under Rule 173Q with interest. Hence this appeal.\n<\/p>\n<p>3. It is found that the letter dated 17\/09\/98 asking the appellants to reverse the credit is much after the period of limitation. The question of limitation has to be re-determined by the original authority in denovo proceedings, especially the application of Retrospective Amendment as held by Supreme Court in the case of J.K. Spinning and Weaving Mills Ltd., &amp; Others (1987 (32) ELT 234 (SC) submission of the appellant and thereafter determine the issue. Appeal is therefore allowed as remand to original authority to re-adjudicate the matter after granting a hearing to the appellants.\n<\/p>\n<p> (Pronounced in Court)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Customs, Excise and Gold Tribunal &#8211; Mumbai Reliance Industries Ltd. vs Commissioner Of Central Excise on 28 November, 2003 Bench: S T S.S., K Kumar ORDER S.S.
