IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA TAX No.35 of 1998 COLLECTOR OF CENTRAL EXCISE,PATNA Versus M/S I.T.C.LTD. With TAX No.36 of 1998 COLLECTOR OF CENTRAL EXCISE,PATNA Versus M/S I.T.C.LTD. ----------- 5. 15.7.2008. On an application filed filed by M/s ITC, Ltd, the Custom Excise & Gold (Control) Appellate Tribunal, New Delhi had drawn the statement of case and referred for our opinion the question of law formulated by it. It seems that inadvertently, the Registry proceeded on an assumption that the reference was at the instance of the Collector of Central Excise, Patna and accordingly, it has been registered as Collector of Central Excise, Patna Vs. ITC, Ltd, Munger. However, when the matter is taken up, Mr. Ranjit Das, appearing on behalf of M/s ITC, Ltd, as also Mr. Rakesh Kumar Singh, appearing for the Collector of Central Excise, Patna, state that in fact, the 2 reference was made at the instance of M/s ITC, Ltd. Mr. Das states that he has been instructed not to press these references. Accordingly, these references are disposed off unanswered. (C.K.Prasad) (Dr.Ravi Ranjan) ahk
