2000 (12) TMI 112 - HC - Central Excise

Summary

The High Court of Delhi upheld the Customs, Excise and Gold (Control) Appellate Tribunal's order requiring a deposit of Rs. 25 lakhs, dismissing the appeal for non-compliance. The petitioner's challenge against extra duty demands and penalties imposed by the Commissioner of Central Excise was not accepted by the Tribunal. The Tribunal directed the deposit to be made by a specific date and extended the time once, but ultimately dismissed the appeal for non-compliance. The Court stated that there was little scope for interference and advised the petitioner to make the deposit by a specified date for possible restoration of the appeal.
