Home Dictionary Name: fittingWater supply and sanitary fittings
Water supply and sanitary fittings, the expression 'sanitary fittings' has received judicial interpreta-tion by the Supreme Court in State of Uttar Pradesh v. Indian Hume Pipe Ltd., [39 STC 355: (1977) 2 SCC 724: 1977 SCC (Tax) 335], where it has been laid down that 'sanitary fittings' according to the popular sense of the term mean such pipes or materials as are used in lavatories, urinals or bathrooms of private houses or public buildings. The use of the word 'fittings' suggests that the expression is intended to refer to articles or things which are fitted or fixed to the floor or walls of a building and they may in a given case include even articles or materials fitted or fixed outside, provided they can be considered as attached or auxiliary to the building or part of it such as, for example, a pipe carrying faecal matter from the commode to the septic tank, but they cannot include pipes laid underground for carrying water supply.

Electric lighting fittings
Electric lighting fittings, the expression 'electric lighting fittings' is normally understood in context with the household. The dippers and switches manufactured for use in cars are not understood either in the trade circle or in common parlance as electric lighting fittings. The words 'switches, plugs and sockets' have been widened by use of the expression 'all kinds', but the words used have to take colour from the genesis of the entry, that is, electric lighting fittings. Since the main or the principal entry deals with electric lighting fittings in the households, the switches and dippers manufactured by the respondent for exclusive use in motor vehicles cannot be said to be covered in the aforesaid entry, Union of India v. J.M.A. Industries, (1995) 3 SCC 389. [Central Excise and Salt Act, 1944, Items 61 (as introduced in 1981), 34A (as amended in 1979) and 68]...

Shree Synthetics Ltd, 1984 Supp SCC 128 (139): AIR 1984 SC 1164. [Madhya Pradesh Industrial Relations Act, 1960 (27 of 1960) s. 66]...
