Commissioner (Appeals) by deciding the case of merits did not exceed its jurisdiction

Last updated: 12 August 2021
Quick Summary
In a case involving Hindustan Aegis LPG Limited and the Commissioner of Excise, the appellant's refund claim was initially rejected on grounds of limitation. The Commissioner (Appeals) upheld this decision and also considered the merits of the case. The appellant argued that the Commissioner (Appeals) had overstepped their jurisdiction by ruling on merits when the initial order had not. However, CESTAT, Mumbai found that the initial order had indeed considered merits, even if not explicitly concluded, and therefore the Commissioner (Appeals) acted within their powers. The appeal was subsequently dismissed.

Court :
CESTAT, Mumbai
