(1.) HEARD both sides.
(2.) SHRI S.D. Gaur, learned Consultant, appearing for the applicants states that the applicants have already paid tax determined and also Rs. 20,500/ - out of the penalty imposed. Considering the payment made, we waive requirement of pre -deposit of balance amount. Stay application is allowed.
(3.) LEARNED Consultant, Shri S.D. Gaur states that in this case tax determined is amounting to Rs. 36,901/ -, but two penalties amounting to Rs. 36,901/ - each have been imposed by the authorities below under Sections 76 and 78 of the Finance Act, 1994 which is harsh and unwarranted.
