Full Judgment
3. Shri A.K. Agarwal, ld. SDR appearing for the appellant Revenue submitted that the Collector of Central Excise (Appeals) had held that the tracing cloth was not eligible for the benefit of Notification No.47/86-C.E., dated 10-2-1986 and Notification No. 63/87-C.E., and that the Notification No. 56/91-C.E., dated 25-7-1991 and 52/91-C.E., dated 25-7-1991 were only amending notifications and were not independent notifications. Once the benefit of original notification was not available, the view that the amending notification has not be referred to was not correct.
4. We have carefully considered the matter. We have seen two notifications which are under consideration being Notification No.47/86-C.E. and Notification No. 63/87-C.E. The Collector (Appeals) had agreed with the Department that as the goods were tracing cloth, they are not eligible for the benefit of these notifications. We find that Notifications Nos. 52/91-C.E. and 56/91-C.E. were only amending notifications and they amended Notification No. 47/86-C.E., dated 10-2-1986 and Notification No. 63/87-C.E. respectively. The view taken by the learned Collector of Central Excise (Appeals) that the respondents claim to the benefit of these amending notifications has not been challenged, is not correct. The Assistant Collector of Central Excise considered that the tracing cloth was not eligible [as also held by the learned Commissioner of Central Excise (Appeals)] to the benefit of Notification No. 47/86-C.E., dated 10-2-1986 as amended by Notification No. 56/91-C.E., dated 25-7-1991 and Notification No.63/87-C.E., dated 1-3-1987 as amended by Notification No. 52/91-C.E., dated 25-7-1991. As Notification Nos. 52/91-C.E. and 56/91-C.E. were only amending notifications, they had no independent application and they are merged with the original notifications.
