If the authorities are of the opinion that the goods ought not to be released pending the appeal, the straight-forward course for them is to obtain an order of stay or other appropriate direction from the Tribunal or the Supreme Court, as the case may be. Without obtaining such an order they cannot refuse to implement the order under appeal. As is well-known, mere filing of an appeal does not operate as a stay or suspension of the order appealed against.

‘Soft serve’ provided by McDonalds is ice cream for the purposes of excise – SC

December 9, 2012 3913 Views 0 comment Print

The assessee has averred that ‘soft serve’ cannot be regarded as ice- cream since the former is marketed and sold around the world as ‘soft serve’. We do not see any merit in this averment. The manner in which a product may be marketed by a manufacturer, does not necessarily play a decisive role in affecting the commercial understanding of such a product. What matters is the way in which the consumer perceives the product at the end of the day notwithstanding marketing strategies.
