of <h1>Appeal modified: Redemption fine reduced, penalty benefit granted, excess payment refunded.</h1> <h3>M/s. Vega Auto Accessories (P) Ltd. Versus The Commissioner of Central Excise, Belgaum</h3> M/s. Vega Auto Accessories (P) Ltd. Versus The Commissioner of Central Excise, Belgaum - TMI Issues: Appeal against rejection of appeal by Commissioner (A) upholding Order-in-Original (OIO) regarding Central Excise duty, redemption fine, and penalties imposed on manufacturing company.Analysis:1. Facts and Background: The appellants, engaged in manufacturing safety gears, faced allegations of attempting to clear goods without paying Central Excise duty. The Preventive Unit seized unaccounted helmets and issued a show-cause notice for duty demand, interest, confiscation, and penalties. The OIO confirmed the duty demand, imposed fines and penalties, leading to the appeal.2. Contentions: The appellant argued that the seized helmets were not cleared goods, final inspections were pending, and no duty liability existed. They challenged the redemption fine, penalties, and confiscation, claiming compliance with Central Excise Rules and incorrect imposition of penalties.3. Defence: The Respondent defended the Commissioner's decision, asserting that all aspects were considered before upholding the OIO.4. Judgment: After reviewing submissions and documents, the Judicial Member noted the payments made by the appellants before the show-cause notice. The Member found discrepancies in the redemption fine and penalty amounts imposed, leading to modifications in favor of the appellant. The Member reduced the redemption fine, granted the benefit of reduced penalty under Section 11AC, and ordered the refund of excess payment made by the appellant.5. Conclusion: Ultimately, the appeal was partially allowed, modifying the impugned order to reduce the redemption fine, grant the benefit of reduced penalty, and order the refund of excess payment. The judgment aimed to rectify the discrepancies in the penalties imposed and provide relief to the appellant based on legal provisions and payment records.
