1. The question involved in these appeals are whether Modvat credit can be granted for following inputs : Originally one appeal has been filed and thereafter other two appeals have been filed as there are other show cause notices involved. The COD's have been filed and the same are excused as it is mere technical delay. This has arisen due to the judgment of the Tribunal in Kolsite India Ltd. case 1998 (99) E.L.T. 564. The delays are excused. Now all the three appeals are taken.2. In respect of the above matters, after hearing both parties, I am of the view that the issues are covered. As far as the first three items are concerned, viz. X-ray films, flow guide developers and flow guide penetrants, the judgment of the Tribunal in the case of Walchandnagar Inds. Ltd. v.

1. Each of the appellants was, at the relevant time, the manufacturer of washers, rivets, "chaplas", "pattis" (strips). The manufacture was done in each case on job work for manufacture of gas lighters being classified by them under Heading 9613.56.2. We are concerned with the period 1-3-1989 to 21-4-1993. Each of the appellants had claimed the benefit of exemption Notification 175/86 and filed the appropriate declaration specified in that notification. By notice dated 15-10-1993- issued to each of the assessees the department proposed to deny the benefit of the notification on the ground that the goods were component parts of lighters to which the benefit of Notification 175/86 would not apply since they were not included in the table to that notification.

The assessees also contended that the notice was barred by limitation. This cont...
