1. The question for consideration in this appeal is whether the product "Lomafinish 45" manufactured by the appellant is textile lubricating preparation which is exempted by Notification 45/95.2. The stay application was listed for hearing on 1-10-2000 and on our perception that the appeal itself could be disposed of, we ordered the appeal to be listed today. The appellant is absent today and was absent on the last occasion despite notice.3. The Deputy Chief Chemist of the department, after testing the product, has said "It is composed mainly of organic surface active agent with small amount of mineral oil".

The Notification 12/94 exempts inter alia lubric...
