Case History
Summary: Commissioner of Central Excise & Customs v. M/S. Suresh Synthetics (C.A. 1363-1366/2002) On 21 August 2007, the Supreme Court dismissed all four civil appeals filed by the Commissioner of Central Excise & Customs with no order as to costs. The Department had issued a show cause notice demanding Rs. 23.85 lacs in customs duty on polyester textured yarn, but the Court found the notice defective because a 100% export-oriented unit clearing goods in the Domestic Tariff Area owes excise duty, not customs duty. The Court upheld the Tribunal's decision that the show cause notice was legally defective and the demand unmaintainable, further noting the Department could not recover the amount as excise duty due to limitation period (24 January to 27 February 2000).
