<h1>Court Upholds Appeal Rejection Due to Duty Deposit Failure</h1> The court upheld the rejection of the appeal by the first respondent, emphasizing compliance with Section 35F for appeal rights. It ruled that failure to ... Appeal - Pre-deposit of duty pending appeal Issues:1. Whether the rejection of the appeal by the first respondent is legal.2. Whether the first respondent has the authority to pass a conditional order during the stay petition.Analysis:1. The petitioner contended that the rejection of the appeal by the first respondent was illegal as it allegedly violated the statutory right of appeal under Section 35 of the Act. The petitioner's counsel argued that the right of appeal should not be defeated for non-compliance with Section 35F of the Act. However, the court found this contention unsustainable, stating that Section 35F mandates the deposit of duty demanded or penalty levied pending appeal. The court emphasized that the right of appeal is governed by Section 35F, and non-compliance would impact the entitlement to file an appeal. The court highlighted the provision's flexibility through a proviso allowing for discretion in dispensing with the deposit under certain circumstances. The court also dismissed the petitioner's attempt to separate Section 35 and Section 35F, emphasizing the necessity of compliance with Section 35F for appeal rights.2. The second ground raised by the petitioner, challenging the first respondent's authority to pass a conditional order during the stay petition, was also rejected. The court noted that the petitioner had initially requested further time to pay the excise duty, indicating a willingness to comply. Therefore, the court found the petitioner's argument conflicting with their previous stance before the first respondent. The court held that the first respondent's actions were within the scope of the matter and not beyond, based on the petitioner's own submissions. Consequently, the court concluded that the petitioner was not entitled to the issuance of a rule, and the writ petition was dismissed.
