1987 (1) TMI 100 - HC - Central Excise

Summary

The High Court of Judicature at Allahabad heard a case involving the seizure of tobacco claimed to be hukka tobacco. The petitioner sought a writ petition for the release of the tobacco, arguing no excise duty was leviable on hukka tobacco. The respondents countered that it was chewing tobacco and therefore leviable. The court did not delve into the controversy, directing the relevant authority to resolve the issue within three months. The writ petition was disposed of accordingly. (Citation: 1987 (1) TMI 100 - HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT ALLAHABAD)
