1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN AT JAIPUR BENCH, JAIPUR D.B. Civil Writ Petition No.12615/2008 Sh. Jai Kumar Jain Versus Commissioner of Central Excise, Jaipur Date of Order ::: 20th May, 2010 Hon'ble The Chief Justice Mr. Jagdish Bhalla Hon'ble Mr. Justice M.N. Bhandari Mr. P.K.Kasliwal, for the petitioner. Mr. Ajay Shukla, for the respondent. By the Court: By this writ petition, a challenge has been made to the order dated 24.07.2006 passed by learned CESTAT whereby a condition was imposed on company for deposition of 50% of amount to maintain appeal. Since, the company failed to deposit the aforesaid amount, the appeal preferred by the petitioner in an individual capacity was also dismissed. It is submitted that appeal of the individual should not have been dismissed for want of deposit of required amount by the company, to which the petitioner was a Director. 2 We have considered the submissions made by learned counsel for petitioner and perused the record of the case. For maintain an appeal before the Tribunal, there is a requirement to deposit the amount already assessed. Even if the individual preferred an appeal, he was under obligation to comply with the mandate of law for maintaining the appeal. Since, the petitioner failed to comply with the mandate of law for maintaining the appeal by making deposit of the amount already assessed, the appeal was rightly been dismissed by the Tribunal. In view of aforesaid, we are not inclined to interfere in the order impugned herein. Accordingly, the writ petition is found to be devoid of merit, hence the same is dismissed. (M.N. Bhandari) J.
