High Court directs petitioner in Central Excise dispute to deposit sum for recovery stay pending CESTAT decision
The High Court directed the petitioner, involved in a Central Excise duty dispute, to deposit an additional sum within five weeks to stay recovery until CESTAT decides on the delay condonation application. Recovery against the petitioner was prohibited until CESTAT makes a decision or further orders on the stay application, contingent on the deposit being made within the stipulated timeframe. The petition was disposed of with this directive, granting protection against recovery subject to the specified conditions.

In this case, the petitioner, engaged in the manufacture of Copper & Brass Strips and Rod, was served with a show-cause notice regarding excess stock of goods and alleged duty evasion. The adjudicating authority confirmed the duty demand and penalties. An appeal was made, leading to the original order being set aside and remanded. Subsequently, a new order was passed, challenged by revenue authorities, and an order-in-appeal was issued. The petitioner then approached CESTAT, seeking admission despite being time-barred, with applications for delay condonation and stay. Recovery notices were issued while the matter was pending, prompting the petitioner to file a petition seeking a writ of mandamus or certiorari to prevent coercive recovery until the case's final disposal. The High Court, considering the delay in CESTAT proceedings, directed the petitioner to deposit an additional sum towards the demand within five weeks to stay recovery until the delay condonation application is decided. The court ruled that recovery against the petitioner should not proceed until CESTAT decides on the delay condonation application or issues further orders regarding the stay application, provided the additional amount is deposited within the specified timeframe. The petition was disposed of with this direction, granting protection against recovery subject to the specified conditions.
