1997 (9) TMI 299 - HC - Central Excise

Summary

The petitioner sought quashing of the order passed by the Customs, Excise & Gold (Control) Appellate Tribunal. The counsel argued that the remedy of reference under the Gold (Control) Act, 1968 is not available as the Act was repealed. However, Section 6 of the General Clauses Act allows for the remedy of reference to be pursued. The petition was dismissed due to the availability of an alternative statutory remedy of reference.
