Issues: Whether penalty under Section 11AC of the Central Excise Act, 1944 and Rule 25 of Central Excise Rules was leviable when the duty demand had been paid before issuance of the show cause notice.
Analysis: The duty liability stood paid before the show cause notice was issued. In such circumstances, the settled position applied by the Tribunal was that penal consequences under Section 11AC of the Central Excise Act, 1944 and Rule 25 of Central Excise Rules were not attracted. The Tribunal also noted that the dispute involved a Government undertaking and that the payment of duty had been made with interest, which supported deletion of penalty.
Conclusion: Penalty was not sustainable and was cancelled. The duty demand was sustained.
Ratio Decidendi: Where the duty is paid before issuance of the show cause notice, penalty under Section 11AC of the Central Excise Act, 1944 and Rule 25 of Central Excise Rules is not imposable.
