2015 (11) TMI 1170 - SUPREME COURT
Classification - printed PVC sheets - Classification under Chapter 39 or chapter 49 - Order beyond the scope of SCN - Held that:- Even the Assistant Commissioner in his order dated November 19, 1997 correctly proceeds on the footing that by mere printing, the fabric does not lose its original identity. However, despite this finding of the Assistant Commissioner, the Assistant Commissioner went on to levy excise duty twice over in respect of the same product, both times under Chapter 39 Heading No. 39.20. - findings in these paragraphs by the Tribunal have to be set aside on the simple ground that they are beyond the show cause notice of the Revenue, which accepts the fact that at least in the present case, no new product emerges after printing and consequently, therefore, that cannot be said to be any manufacture. On this ground alone, we set aside the Tribunal's judgment and restore that of the Commissioner, making it clear that the classification of the product remains under Chapter 39 Heading No. 39.20 - Decided in favour of assessee.
