Besides the process like bleaching, dyeing, stentering, they also process cotton fabrics into bleached and grey sheeting by applying Topi-oca starch, Maize starch, French Chalk powder and delomits (sic) which render the fabrics stiffening effect.

1. The appellant is a manufacturer of beverages. It imported and cleared some quantity of Tetra Brick aseptic packing material in July, 1986. The material was later found to be substandard. Appellant took up the mater with the supplier of the goods, who advised that the goods be returned. Therefore, it exported 207 reels out of the imported quantity of 933 reels in June or July, 1988, under claim for drawback of the duty paid on importation of the goods. The Department issued notice to the appellant proposing to deny the drawback on the ground that the goods exported could not be identified as part of the goods which were imported; and that the present market value of the goods was Rs. 50,000/-; and therefore, much less than the drawback claimed of Rs. 5.45 lacs and hence, the proviso to Section 76 of the Act came in the way of sanction. The importer replied to the notice contending that the identity was established and that drawback was payable. The Additional Collector did not accep...
