2006 (6) TMI 128 - HC - Central Excise

Summary

The High Court of Andhra Pradesh modified the order of the Customs, Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal, directing the petitioner to deposit Rs. 10.00 lakhs within six weeks for appeal hearing, instead of Rs. 20.00 lakhs initially demanded. The Tribunal found that the petitioner did not have a strong case for full waiver but considered the financial difficulties faced by the petitioner. The writ petition was disposed of at the admission stage.
