SUPREME COURT OF INDIA
S.P. Bharucha, CJI., N. Santosh Hegde and Shivaraj V. Patil, JJ.
Nagpur Alloy Castings Limited -Appellant
versus
Collector of Central Excise -Respondent
Civil Appeal No. 11943 of 1995
Decided on 16-4-2002
Counsel for the Parties :
For the Appellant : S/Shri V. Lakshmikumaran, M.P. Devnath and V. Balachandran, Advocates.
For the Respondent : S/Shri S. Ganesh, Sr. Advocate, Jaideep Gupta and B. Krishna Prasad Advocates.
ORDER
The Tribunal has, by the impugned order, upheld the imposition of penalty, though it has reduced it, after holding that the extended period of limitation was not available to the Revenue, quashing the demand for duty and holding that the appellant had nothing to gain by evading the payment of duty. The imposition of penalty, under these circumstances, is illogical.
2. The civil appeal is allowed and the order under appeal is set aside.
3. No order as to costs.
Appeal allowed.
