Ink Colour whether Blue or Black, does not matter: CESTAT
AN application was filed for seeking extension of the Stay order passed by the CESTAT.
The Registry issued the applicant a Show-Cause notice pointing out certain defects in the Miscellaneous Application filed.
The defect, apparently, was in the colour of ink used for signing the Miscellaneous application. Inasmuch as the first copy of the application was signed in "BLUE INK" and the other copies were signed in "BLACK INK".
When the matter was heard, the Bench was not impressed with the ALLEGATION levelled of there being any "defect" in the Miscellaneous Application.
One glance at the application and the Bench said - "...we find no defect in the application."
The Bench then proceeded to grant extension of Stay of recovery by relying upon inter alia the decision of CCE, Mangalore vs. Indian Oil Corporation Ltd. by holding that the applicant is not, in any way, responsible for the pendency of the appeal.
