Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: Jan-19-1987

Reported in: (1987)(11)ECC232

1. The issue in the present matter is the correct classification of laminated jute bags manufactured by the appellants out of hessian, on which appropriate amount of duty of excise has been paid under Itam 22-A of the Central Excise Tariff.2. Appellants submit that in their products, the weight of jute predominates, that is, it is more than of other materials and, therefore, they should be classifiable under item 22-A of the central excise tariff. It is urged that prior to the introduction of tariff item 68, such products were classified by the department under item 22-A of the central excise tariff and were exempted by virtue of notification No. 53/65 dated 20-3-1965 as amended by notification No.150/65 dated 18-9-1965.

Electrosteel Castings Ltd. Vs. Collector of C. Ex.

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: Jan-19-1987

Reported in: (1989)(43)ELT305TriDel

1. The learned counsel for M/s. Electrosteel Castings Ltd. said that the order-in-appeal No. 1684/Cal/81, dated 21-12-1981 passed by the Appellate Collector of Central Excise, Calcutta, was erroneous and did not take all the facts into account. The goods they cleared viz. balls and cylpebs, were nothing but cast products. They were not, in any way, machine parts and there had been no finishing by the use of machines.All the goods had received were fettling and dressing; both these were carried out manually. The balls and cylpebs as they came out of their casting moulds are separated from each other by a hand-wielded hammer or some such hand-held tool for knocking away extra unwanted metal.This process is known as fettling in metal industry. Since these fettled balls invariably contain sands, dust and other foreign matter, they are cleaned by brushing and washing; this process, also known as dressing, is carried out by hand. It will be appreciated that both processes of fettling and dr...
