Appeal dismissed for not meeting monetary limit. No costs imposed.
The appeal by the Appellant-Revenue was dismissed as it did not meet the raised monetary limit of Rs. 50,00,000 for filing appeals before the High Court.

The decision was based on the revised monetary limits set by the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs, with no costs imposed on the Revenue.
Issues: Raising of monetary limits for filing appeals in Central Excise and Service Tax cases before different forums.
Analysis: The judgment discusses the instructions issued by the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs regarding the withdrawal of pending appeals in the field of Central Excise and Service Tax. The monetary limit for maintaining appeals before High Courts has been raised to Rs. 50,00,000. The instructions dated 11.07.2018 specify the monetary limits for filing appeals in CESTAT, High Courts, and the Supreme Court. These limits are Rs. 20,00,000 for CESTAT, Rs. 50,00,000 for High Courts, and Rs. 1,00,00,000 for the Supreme Court. The instructions apply only to legacy issues related to Central Excise and Service Tax, including pending cases. The withdrawal process for pending cases will follow the existing practice. However, cases involving substantial questions of law will be contested regardless of the prescribed monetary limits.
The judgment highlights that the present appeal by the Appellant-Revenue is not maintainable as the tax effect involved is below the prescribed monetary limit of Rs. 50,00,000. The case does not fall under the exception category mentioned in the Notification dated 17.08.2011. Therefore, the appeal is dismissed as withdrawn/not pressed. The decision is made based on the revised monetary limits set by the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs. The judgment concludes by dismissing the appeal filed by Revenue and states that no costs are imposed in this regard.
