Decided on: Dec-04-1998

Reported in: (1999)(105)ELT322TriDel

1. In this case, a duty demand of Rs. 1,61,049.60 P. has been confirmed on waste and scrap obtained by breaking up of barge under GET sub-heading 7215.00. A penalty of Rs. 15,0007- has also been imposed upon the assessees.2. When the case is called, none appears on behalf of the appellants despite notice; hence we have heard Shri R.D. Negi, learned DR and perused the records.3. The contention of the assessee that the activity of breaking of barge does not amount to manufacture cannot be accepted since prima facie in our view such activity is a process of manufacture. The plea that barges are not ships or boats or floating structure and even if the activity of breaking of barges is held to amount to manufacture, classification of waste and scrap so obtained would not be under Heading 7215 is also prima facie not acceptable.4. On a consideration of the facts and circumstances, we direct the appellants to deposit a sum of Rs. 75,000/- towards duty and on such deposit, the requirement of ...

The Department is aggrieved by the order of the Collector of Central Excise, (Appeals), Bombay holding that reed wires manufactured by the appellants herein will remain as wire and will not be classifiable as strips falling under T.I. 12 of the Schedule to the erstwhile Central Excise Tariff.2. We have heard Shri D.S.

The rolling is done at normal temperature i.e. the wires are cold rolled to produce dents of required thickness.
