Full Judgment
2. After hearing both the sides, we find the following undisputed factual position: The applicants are a Small Scale Unit availing the benefit of exemption Notification No. 175/86-C.E. They also undertake to do the job work on behalf of another manufacturer, who is not entitled to avail the small scale exemption. All the same the value of the clearance effected on job work has also been included for purpose of computing the eligibility of small scale exemption in respect of the applicants' unit. However, the lower authority has denied the small scale exemption on the ground that the person for whom the job work is done is not entitled to avail the small scale exemption.
In the circumstances, prima facie we hold that the Collector's (Appeals) view is not in confirmity with the provisions of Notification No. 175/86 and hence we grant stay and waiver of recovery of the duty amount.
