1. Revenue wants to consider sugar syrup arising at intermediate stage in the assessees factory during the course of manufacture of medicaments relying upon the Tribunal's decision in case of M/s.Cadbury India Ltd. - 1998 (104) E.L.T. 457 (T) and Board's Circular No.75/75/94-CX., dated 2-11-94.2. Respondents have filed a cross objection and rely upon report of Chief Chemist of Revenue Laboratory certifying the sugar syrup to be unstable product therefore not having shelf life/marketability as also they rely on the decision of CCE (A) on their own case for an earlier period for which no appeal was filed and plead that the product and process remain the same.3. We find that in this case of Revenue's appeal ignoring the Chief Chemist of Revenue Central Laboratory's report was not called for when the product is unstable & has no shelf life and is therefore not marketable, there cannot be a levy of excisability thereon. Revenue's appeal therefore bereft of merit and is rejected....
