Case History
CASE SUMMARY: C.A. No. 894/2001 The Supreme Court dismissed the Commissioner of Central Excise's appeal against Xerographic Ltd. on March 21, 2006. The excise authority had alleged that Xerographic evaded duty by under-valuing photocopiers sold to two distributors (Murphy India Ltd. and Mecotronics P Ltd.), claiming they were "related persons" under Section 4(4)(c) of the Central Excise Act. While accepting the related person finding, the Court found the department failed to prove any extra-commercial consideration or abnormal pricing. The Tribunal's factual findings—that sales were on retail basis and prices were normal—were upheld as not requiring interference. The appeal was dismissed with no costs awarded.
