High Court affirms Tribunal's dismissal of writ petition for non-compliance with Section 35F. Appeal restoration and stay denied.
The High Court upheld the Tribunal's decision to dismiss the writ petition due to the petitioner's failure to comply with Section 35F of the Central Excise Act, 1944 by not depositing the required amount. The Court also dismissed the petitioner's application to restore the appeal and stay the notice of demand as the petitioner expressed inability to pay the necessary sum and had not challenged the demand notice, leading to the rejection of both applications.
Issues: 1. Dismissal of writ petition due to non-compliance with Section 35F of the Central Excise Act, 1944. 2. Prayer to direct the Appellate Tribunal to restore the appeal. 3. Dismissal of IA No. 02 of 2019 due to inability to pay the requisite amount. 4. Application to stay the notice of demand issued by respondent no. 3. 5. Rejection of the stay order application due to lack of challenge to the notice of demand.
Analysis:
1. The writ petition filed by the petitioner was dismissed as the petitioner did not deposit the required amount under Section 35F of the Central Excise Act, 1944, when filing the appeal before the Appellate Tribunal. The High Court upheld the Tribunal's decision, leading to the dismissal of the petition.
2. IA No. 02 of 2019 sought to direct the Appellate Tribunal to restore the appeal upon the petitioner depositing the necessary amount within a specified timeframe. However, the petitioner expressed an inability to pay the required sum, resulting in the dismissal of IA No. 02 of 2019 by the Court.
3. The Court, upon hearing the petitioner's counsel, dismissed IA No. 02 of 2019 due to the petitioner's inability to fulfill the financial requirement mandated by Section 35F of the Act. The inability to pay the requisite amount led to the dismissal of the application seeking restoration of the appeal.
4. IA No. 04 of 2019 was an application to stay the notice of demand issued by respondent no. 3. The petitioner's counsel highlighted that the notice of demand had not been challenged thus far, raising doubts about the Court's authority to grant a stay order in the absence of any challenge to the notice.
5. The Court, considering the lack of challenge to the notice of demand, dismissed IA No. 04 of 2019, emphasizing that without a challenge to the demand notice, there was no basis for the Court to issue a stay order. The absence of any challenge to the notice of demand led to the rejection of the application seeking a stay order.
