J.K. Brothers at Morvi, who were not entitled to the benefit of the notification.

Commissioner of C. Ex. and Cus. Vs. Pack Trade

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Mumbai

Decided on: Dec-05-2000

Reported in: (2001)(129)ELT141Tri(Mum.)bai

1. M/s. Mahindra and Engineering Products Ltd. imported cyanoacrylic adhesive packed in carbuoys. It passed on this commodity to M/s. Pack Trade, the respondent before us, for filling into metal tubes, each holding 2 or 3 grams, and bearing the label 'Mr. Fixit', for use by the consumer as an adhesive. The substance hardens on exposure to air. It was therefore necessary for the respondent to flush out air from the tubes before filling the adhesive, and thereafter, purge the tubes with nitrogen in order to remove all traces of air.2. The question for consideration in this appeal is whether this process amounts to manufacture. In the order impugned in this appeal, the Commissioner (Appeals), overruling the order of the Additional Commissioner, has held that since no new product emerges, there is no manufacture. This is challenged in this appeal.3. After having heard both sides, we do not find any case for interference. The grounds in the appeal are that repacking of the adhesive is inci...

1. The application is for waiver of deposit of duty of Rs. 4.42 lakhs, and a penalty of Rs. 7,500 imposed on the applicant.2. The Commissioner (Appeals) has confirmed the finding of the Assistant Commissioner that Modvat credit could not be taken of the duty shown to have paid on copper bars and rods in certificates issued by M/s. Hindustan Copper Limited, their manufacturer.3. The two decisions of the Tribunal that the representative of the applicant cites, Deui Dayal & Mahindra Corporation v. CCE , and Agarwal Metal Works v. CCE prima facie support his contention, that the instructions of the Board provide that such certificates issued by Hindustan Copper Limited are sufficient for taking credit. The departmental representative's contention that the Board's circular was limited to certificates issued by canalising agencies, and so will not apply, to Hindustan Copper Limited, which is not a canalising agency, is prima facie not acceptable, considering that the second decision spe...
