vs
FJM cylinders Pvt. Ltd.
Facts
The subject appeal impugns the order of the custom excising service tax appellant tribunal dated 25.05.2023 which were entitled to the refund of the anti dumping duty of 40,21,173.
Issue
Whether the appeal could be admitted given the facts that the custom authority has a circular of restraining the department for filing the appeal below 1 crores in the high court.
Held.
Delhi HC held that the appeal is covered by the notification dated 2.11.2023 issued by the CBIC on the subject of “Reduction of Government litigation - providing monetary limit for filing appeals by departments before Cess Tax/High Court/Supreme Court-regarding”. The monetary limit prescribed for filing an appeal before the High Court has been enhanced to Rs. 1 Crore by notification dated 02.11.2023.
The instructions direct not only for not filing an appeal but also withdrawal of pending cases as per the revised limit.
Since the subject appeal involves a duty of Rs.40,21,173/- which is the below the monetary limit prescribed and is not covered by the exceptions stipulated in the subject notification, this appeal is dismissed on the ground of Low Tax Effect.
