ORDER1. In these two petitions, the question is whether Foley Balloon Catheters are suction catheters and are, therefore, covered by Serial No. 32 of a notification which grants total exemption from the customs duty. This question had arisen earlier and the matter was considered by the Customs, Excise and Gold (Control) Appellate Tribunal, hereinafter referred to as 'the CEGAT', in P.R. Parekh v. Collector of Customs, Bombay (Appeal No. CD(SS) A. No. 437/84-C) and by a judgment dated 29th of June 1984, the Tribunal held that Foley Balloon Catheters are covered by the expression 'suction catheters' and are, therefore, eligible for duty exemption as per the notification referred to above. There are in fact two notifications. One is Notification No. 208/81 dated 22nd of September 1981 and another is Notification No. 265/82 dated 30th of November 1982. While so holding, the CEGAT took into account the opinion given by the Director General of Health Services. The opinions of other persons w...
