Decided on: Oct-05-1993

Reported in: (1994)(69)ELT77Tri(Mum.)bai

1. For hearing the applicant's appeal on merits they are required to deposit Rs. 6,86,573/- towards duty and a penalty of Rs. 60,000/-. The plant and machinery also have been ordered confiscation but allowed redemption on payment of a fine Rs. 30,000/- vide order in original No.14/93, dated 26-2-1993.2. After hearing both sides we find that the issue relates to denial of small scale exemption by including the value of the parts of diesel engines such as filter head and filter element, which go into the final product, namely filter assembly, which are cleared under Chapter X Procedure in terms of Notification 217/85. The prima facie ground urged by Shri Kulkarni, the learned Chartered Accountant, is that Notification No. 217/85 extends exemption to all parts of diesel engines without naming any particular part. Even assuming the worst against them, filter head and filter elements, which have been cleared captively and used in the manufacture of filter assembly and the entire assembly h...
