Issues: Whether unconditional waiver of pre-deposit of duty and penalty was warranted in a dispute arising from the compounded levy scheme.
Analysis: The application was considered in the context of an appeal against an order that had not decided the dispute on merits but had rejected the assessee's appeal for non-compliance with the pre-deposit requirement. The assessee had submitted an option to discontinue under the compounded levy scheme and to discharge duty on actual production, and the record indicated that the duty paid on that basis was not disputed. The existence of a prima facie case in favour of the assessee was accepted. On the penalty component, the circumstances disclosed no warrant for its continuance at the interim stage.
Conclusion: Unconditional waiver of pre-deposit was granted in favour of the assessee.
Final Conclusion: The assessee was relieved from pre-deposit obligations and the appeal was directed to be listed later, pending the larger bench outcome referred to in the order.
Ratio Decidendi: Where the assessee establishes a strong prima facie case and the disputed demand arises from a switch from compounded levy to payment on actual production, pre-deposit may be waived unconditionally and penalty need not be insisted upon at the interim stage.
