2010 (10) TMI 19 - SC - Central ExciseManufacture - Classification of goods - unprocessed knitted or crocheted fabrics - exemption under notification no. 6/2000 - is whether the processes of shearing and back-coating which do not figure in Chapter Note 4 to Chapter 60 of the Tariff Act, would fall within the ambit of "any other process" referred to in the said note - Held that: - It is well settled that general terms following particular expressions take their colour and meaning as that of the preceding expressions, applying the principle of ejusdem generis rule, therefore, in construing the words "or any other process", the import of the specific expressions will have to be kept in mind - Therefore, the processes, with which we are concerned in the present appeals must take their colour from the process of bleaching, dyeing, printing, shrink- proofing, tentering, heat-setting, crease-resistant processing, specifically mentioned in the note. It is evident that when a grey fabric is subjected to any of these processes, a permanent or lasting change is brought about in the fabric. - said processes do not amount to "manufacture" in terms of Note 4 of Chapter 60 of the Tariff Act
