The High Court in its judgment found that since the product charged with air or carbon dioxide was an aerated drink. From the manufacturing process which was on the record, it is clear that carbon dioxide to the extent of 0.6 percent was added as preservative. Technical note submitted on behalf of the appellant clearly mentioned that use of carbon dioxide was only as a preservative of 'Appy Fizz'.

Parle Agro (P) Ltd. is a dealer engaged in fruit juice based drink known as Appy Fizz which has obtained certificate of registration under Kerala Value Added Tax Act, 2003 (hereinafter referred to as Act, 2003 ). The appellant was classifying the product as fruit juice based drink under Entry 71 of the notification issued under Section 6(1)(d) of Act, 2003 till 2007 and was paying @ 12.5% VAT. One M/s. Trade Lines (a distributor of appellant Company) was assessed by the authorities under the Act, 2003 holding that M/s. Trade Lines is liable to pay tax @ 20% on the product. M/s.

He submits that if prior to 2007, 'Appy Fizz' could not be considered as an 'aerated branded soft drink' then there is no identifiable logic that the product would be so covered after 2007. Especially, there was no indication that the said product had been removed/ejected from Entry 71 after the amendment in 2007. 12. Further, he submits that common parlance test which has been applied by the High Court is not the correct test to determine the classification to include the product, as entries under the VAT Act are technical or scientific in nature. Soft drinks under Kerala VAT would be those drinks that are synthetic whether or not aerated. The product in question is not a synthetic product. It contains more than 10% fruit juice. It is fruit juice based drink and not covered by Section 6(1)(a). A fruit juice based drink is more akin to fruit juice than soft drink. Subclause (5) of Entry 71 covers simila .....

Learned counsel submitted that under the Rules of interpretation as contained in the Act, 2003, the product being not covered with any of HSN number common parlance or commercial parlance test has rightly been applied by the High Court. Under the common parlance even if the product contained more than 10% fruit concentrate it is a soft drink as commonly known and tax liability @ 20% has rightly been imposed. 16. Learned counsel for the parties have placed reliance on various cases which shall be referred to while considering the submissions in detail. 17. We have considered the submissions made by the learned counsel for the parties and perused the records. 18. From the submissions of learned counsel for the parties and the pleadings of the parties following are the main issues which arise for consideration in these appeals: ( 1) What is interrelation between Section 6(1)(a) and Section 6(1)(d) of Act, 2003?

We, thus, have to examine the classification of product in the light of provisions of Section 6(1)(a) and Entry 71 as existing after 1st April, 2007. Issue Nos.1 and 2 26. We consider both the issues together. According to Section 6(1) liability to pay tax shall be on the taxable turnover of every dealer as enumerated in subclause (a) to subclause (f). Subclause (a) provides that in the case of goods specified in the Second and Third Schedules tax shall be liable to be paid at the rate specified therein at all points of sale of such goods within the State. Subclause (a) further provides that in the case of goods specified in subclause (a) tax liability shall be at rate of specified in column (4). Subclause (a) contains chart which includes Sl.No., Description of goods, HSN Code and Rate of tax in percentage. The rate of tax as mentioned in in Section 6(1)(a) is 20% or more. The goods enumerated in Section 6(1)(a) are tobacco based goods, pan masala, other manufactured tobacco and manufactured tobacco substitutes. Other category co .....

The aerated branded soft drinks, excluding soda were always covered under Section 6(1)(a) and prior to 1st April, 2007 it bears HSN Code 2201.10.10. Entry 71 Item 4 also reads as fruit pulp or fruit juice based drinks with HSN Code 2202.90.20 . When fruit juice based drinks were covered under Entry 71 the State Government knew that fruit juice based drinks were not covered by Section 6(1)(a). Applicability of the power of State to issue notification under Section 6(1)(d) arises only when goods were not covered by Section 6(1)(a). Fruit juice based drinks, thus, were never treated as 'aerated branded soft drinks' which was the understanding of State of Kerala while issuing notification under Section 6(1(d). Had fruit juice based drinks were also to be covered by aerated branded soft drinks, there was no occasion for subordinate legislative authority, i.e., the State Government, to include such products in notification under Section 6(1)(d). 30. Now, we come to Entry 71 .....

Applying the common parlance test, the High Court has concluded that product in question is covered by 'aerated branded soft drink'. Strictly speaking the Rule of Interpretation which is given in the Appendix to Act, 2003, are the Rules of Interpretation of Schedules that is Schedule Nos.I, II and III. Thus, for interpretation of any item in the Schedule, Rules of Interpretation as given in the Appendix are applicable. The items which fall for consideration in the present case is Item No.6(1)(a) as well as Entry 71 of S.R.O. No.119 of 2008 issued in exercise of power under Section 6(1)(d), which are the entries which are not mentioned in the Schedule. One more provision which is relevant to notice is the explanation to Section 6(1)(a). The explanation to Section 6(1) (a) provides as follows: Explanation: The 'Rules of Interpretation of the Schedules' appended to the Schedules of this Act shall .....

While considering the aforesaid case the Court had occasion to consider several earlier cases of this Court. Following was stated in paragraphs 36,37,40,41,42, 43: 36. In deciding this question the first thing that requires to be noted is that Entry 25.15 refers specifically not only to marble but also to other calcareous stones whereas Entry 62 refers to the restricted item marble only. It does not refer to any other stones such as ecaussine, travertine or other calcareous monumental or building stone of a certain specific gravity. Therefore, on a plain reading of these two entries it is apparent that travertine, ecaussine and other calcareous monumental or building stones are not intended to be included in marble as referred to in Entry 62 of Appendix 2 as a restricted item. Moreover, the calcareous stones as mentioned in ITC Schedule has to be taken in scientific and technical sense as therein the said stone has been described as of an apparent specific gravity of 2.5 or more. Therefore, the word marble has to be interpreted, in our considered opinion, in the scientific or technical sense and not in the sense as co ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X ..... that if a statute contains language which is capable of being construed in a popular sense such statute is not to be construed according to the strict or technical meaning of the language contained in it, but is to be construed in its popular sense, meaning of course, by the words popular sense , that sense which people conversant with the subject matter with which the statute is dealing would attribute to it. But if a word in its popular sense and read in an ordinary way is capable of two constructions, it is wise to adopt such a construction as is based on the assumption that Parliament merely intended to give so much power as was necessary for carrying out the objects of the Act and not to give any unnecessary powers. In other words, the construction of the words is to be adapted to the fitness of the matter of the statute. 41. The court has also referred to the observation of Fry, J. in Holt Co. v. Collyer. The observation is: If it is a word which is of a technical or scientific character then it must be construed according to that which is its primary meaning, namely, its technical or scientific meaning. Referring to the above decisions this Court ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X ..... the tariff entry and any other entry in the Tariff Schedule. 38. In the present case, the Entry 2 under Section 6(1)(a) uses the word 'aerated'. This is scientific term and has been repeatedly used in different statutes including the Central Excise Tariff and different HSN codes also uses the term 'aerated'. The word 'aerated' is scientific and technical word used under different statutes and the scientific and technical meaning of the word 'aerated' can be looked into for finding out the real import of the Entry. 39. In view of the above, we are of the opinion that common parlance and commercial parlance test was not the only test which could have been applied for interpreting the entries in items mentioned in Section 6(1)(a) and the entries which contain scientific and technical word were also to be looked into in technical and scientific meaning. Both the High Court and the Committee of Joint Commissioners discarded the evidence of technical and scientific meaning of word. The appellant has rightly relied on the technical evidence brought on the record which indicate that use of carbon dioxide to the extent of 0.6 per cent was only for t .....

It is only where the intention of the Legislature in associating wider words with words of narrower significance is doubtful, or otherwise not clear that the present rule of construction can be usefully applied. 41. This Court in Pardeep Aggarbatti Vs. State of Punjab, 1997 (96) E.L.T. 219(S.C.), considering Entry 16 of Schedule A of Punjab General Sales Tax Act, 1948, in paragraph 9 has laid down following: 9. Entries in the Schedules of Sales tax and Excise statutes list some articles separately and some articles are grouped together. When they are grouped together, each word in the Entry draws colour from the other words therein. This is the principle of noscitur a sociis . 42. Applying the aforesaid principle of construction of 'noscitur a sociis' on Entry 71, it is clear that clause 5 of Entry 71 has to take colour and meaning from the other items included in Entry 71. Item 5 of Entry 71 uses the words similar other products not specific ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X ..... arification. The very purpose of the provision in the form of Section 94 and clothing authority with power to make different nature of considerations to conclude such issues, necessarily, show that no revisional order of this Court in an earlier proceedings could conclude the issues which could be considered in an application for clarification by the competent authority under Section 94 of the KVAT Act. 44. The order passed by the Division Bench in M/s. Trade Lines was a case of assessment of another assessee which decision was based on the materials brought on the record by the said assessee and could not have precluded the appellant from filing the application under Section 94 and when the Division Bench by its judgment of 5th October, 2015 dismissed the appeal of the Revenue, the Committee of Commissioners ought to have followed the observation given by the Division Bench in paragraph 4 quoted above. Thus, we are of the view that the judgment of the Division Bench of Kerala High Court in M/s. Trade Lines did not conclude the issue and the Committee of Commissioners was not absolved from its duty of deciding the same in accordance with the materials brought on the recor .....

Whereas Central Excise Tariff under Subheading No.2202 there are specific headings in respect of soya milk, drinks etc. As per the Central Excise Tariff, the waters; including mineral waters and aerated waters, containing added sugar or other sweetening matter or flavoured are classifiable under subheading No.2202.10. The drinks based on fruit juice are specifically classifiable under Heading No.22029020 of the Tariff. In the present case, there is no dispute regarding the contents of the product. Revenue is not disputing the certificate given by the Ministry of Food and Processing Industries, New Delhi rather they are relying it in the ground of appeal, and as per the certificate, the product in question contains 23% of apple juice, therefore, we find no infirmity in the impugned order. The appeal is dismissed. 48. The Revenue had also filed Civil Appeal No.5354 of 2008 against the order of CESTAT which was dismissed by this Court on 8th July, 2009 affirming the order of CESTAT. 49.

Whether the product is an aerated branded soft drink or can be covered by residuary of clause (5) of Entry 71 is a question on which the manufacture licence, orders issued by Food Safety and Standards Authority of India were relevant facts which were although cited before the Committee of Joint Commissioners but were brushed aside relying on the Kerala High Court's order in M/s. Trade Lines. We, thus, are of the opinion that the manufacture licence dated 19th August, 2015 granted to appellant and the opinion of the Government of India, Ministry of Food Processing Industries dated 28.03.2005 were relevant for finding the nature of the product of the appellant for the purpose of classification and the Committee of Joint Commissioners as well as High Court erred in not adverting to and considering the aforesaid material. 56.

In this context, in the judgment of this Court in Hindustan Ferodo Ltd. vs. Collector of Central Excise, Bombay, 1997(89) ELT 16(SC) , in paragraph 3 it was laid down: 3. It is not in dispute before us,as it cannot be, that the onus of establishing that the said rings fell within Item 22F lay upon the Revenue. The Revenue led no evidence. The onus was not discharged. Assuming therefore, that the Tribunal was right in rejecting the evidence that was produced on behalf of the appellants, the appeal should, nonetheless, have been allowed. 62.

The High Court discarded scientific and expert opinion with regard to manufacturing process and contents of the product. The orders of Food Safety Authority were also discarded which were relevant for considering the nature and contents of product. The adjudication by CESTAT was relevant at least on the aspect that the 'Appy Fizz' is not aerated which was also discarded by the High Court as well as by the Committee of the Commissioners. In view of the aforesaid discussion, we are of the considered opinion that the appellant has successfully proved from the materials brought on the record that the product 'Appy Fizz' was required to be classified under Item No.5 of the Entry 71 as amended with tax liability at 12.5% after amendment by S.R.O. No.119 of 2008 (now at the rate of 14.5%). 64. Now, coming to the appeal arising out of SLP(C)No.9467 of 2016.
