.... 3 relating to date of communication of copy of the order appealed against, the Commissioner has shown "15-7-1999" as the date of communication of the copy of the order. Ld. Counsel then invites attention to the Order-in-Review passed by the Commissioner authorising the Dy. Commissioner for filing of appeal, (vide at pages 8 to 10 of the Appeal Papers). The date mentioned below the signature of the Commissioner in the said Order-in-Review is "13-7-1999". Ld. Counsel states that there is thus a patent error in the date mentioned against Sl.

....elates to the amounts shown vide Annexure-II to SCN dt. 6-5-1996, Ld. Counsel invites attention to serial No. 4 of the said Annexure, which mentioned electronic switches as one of the 18 items figuring therein. The amount shown against electronic switch is only Rs. 1,017.00. Inasmuch as the Dy. Commissioner has filed Appeal against Modvat claims involving Rs. 58,578/-, (which included 17 other items other than electrical switches), the appeal filed by the Dy. Commissioner has gone beyond the authorisation given to him by the Commissioner. Ld.
