CESTAT, BANGALORE BENCH Wadpack (P.) Ltd. Versus Commissioner of Central Excise FINAL ORDER NO. 700 OF 2012 CENTRAL EXCISE APPEAL NO. 637 OF 2010 NOVEMBER 5, 2012 ORDER 1. In this appeal filed by the assessee, the short question is whether, for the period from April 2005 to June 2007, the appellant was entitled to […]
There is one more ground on which the refund claim has been rejected i.e. prior to 16.05.2006 the appellant did not have registration as an input service distributor and hence the appellant could not have availed service tax credit on ISD basis.

The issues regarding genuineness of the sale deed, undervaluation, etc. are beyond the purview of instant CP, since a consideration of oppression and mismanagement arises only if the petitioners are found to be shareholders of the company. That issue being held against them the other issues pleaded in the CP do not arise. The petitioners have approached the Bench with unclean hands and they are not entitled to any equitable reliefs. The attempt of the petitioners to re-agitate the concluded issues is nothing but an abuse of the process of the Court. The company petition is devoid of any merits.
complaint under section 138 of the Act without signature is maintainable when such complaint is verified by the complainant and the process is issued by the Magistrate after due verification. The prosecution of such complaint is maintainable and we agree with the conclusion arrived at by the Division Bench of the High Court. Consequently, both the appeals fail and are dismissed.
