Commissioner (Appeals - I), Central Excise, 4 Kiran Shankar Roy Road, Raja Chamber, 3rd Floor Kolkata – 700 001

20th June, 2005

Sir, Sub: Submissions with respect to Appeal filed by my client Creative Polypack Ltd. against Order No. SCDN (3) 78/HWD-I/06 dated 6th March, 2006 1) For that the order Learned Assistant Commissioner of Central Excise, Howrah West, Division - I has failed to appreciate the fact that appellant dispatched the goods after proper weighing from their weighing scale in their factory. But Hindustan Lever re-weighed the same goods which resulted into difference in weight. That appellant did not enter incorrect particulars in the invoice for evading the duty as it would result into their own revenue loss as well. 2) For that the learned Assistant Commissioner of Central Excise, Howrah West , Division - I has failed to appreciate the fact that there was no willful suppression of fact and as such the question of levying penalty does not arise in the absence of mens rea. 3)

For that differential duty was paid much before issuance of show cause notice, hence the demand for penalty and interest should be dropped. The Supreme Court Bench comprising Hon’ble Mr. Justice S.N. Variava and Hon’ble Mr. Justice Tarun Chatterjee on 15-7-2005 dismissed the Civil Appeal No. D9377 of 2005 filed by Commissioner of Central Excise, Chennai against the CESTAT Order No. 74/2005, dated 4-1-2005 and reported in 2005

(184) E.L.T. 179 (Tri. - Chennai) (Brakes India Ltd. v. Commissioner). The Appellate Tribunal in its impugned order had held that penalty was not imposable when more than entire duty amount was paid before issuance of show cause notice. 4) For that show cause notice is barred by limitation under section 11A of C.E. Act, 1944 as it has been issued after more than three years of payment of duty differential duty. Thanking you, Yours faithfully,
