Definition
Pitch, pitch is derived by distillation of 'tar' wherein the oils-light oil, naphthalene oil, creosote oil and other residual oils are removed. Depending on the extent of oil removed, 'pitch' may be 'soft pitch' or 'medium soft pitch' or 'medium hard pitch' or 'hard pitch'. Once 'pitch' is obtained, it is a completely different product from 'tar', CCE v. Steel Authority of India Ltd., (2004) 9 SCC 682 (685).
