F.No.CIC/AT/A/2008/01255
Dated, the 16th February, 2009.
3. Respondents during the hearing pointed out that the present second-appeal
has been filed by the appellant, Shri T. Retna Pandian ⎯ who claims to be the
General Secretary of an NGO called Fifth Pillar India ⎯ as a sequel to the earlier
second-appeal (Appeal No.CIC/AT/A/2007/00849) filed by one, Mr.Samuel C.
Wilson, a Superintendent of Central Excise, which was rejected by the
Commission through its decision dated 25.09.2007 as the disclosure requirement
was fully met by the respondents.
7. From the above facts, the Commission notes that the present appellant on
the plea of “unearthing malpractices resulting in huge loss to the exchequer”,
has attempted to agitate before the Commission an issue ⎯ presumably on the
behest of the previous appellant, Mr.Samuel C. Wilson ⎯ which was earlier
decided by the Commission, through its order dated 25.09.2007. On this count,
this appeal merits no consideration as it is hit by Res Judicata. However, I’m
inclined to dispose of the appeal on its merit.
Decision:
