The impugned order placed reliance on the decision of Hon'ble Apex Court in the case of Modi Alkalies Chemicals Ltd - 2004 (171) ELT 155 (SC) to hold that unless pervasive financial and management control is shown, clubbing of clearance cannot be done. It holds that no such evidence has been produced in the notice, which shows common fund flow and common pooling of profit or common flow back of profits to the main entity and in absence of that, ground of clubbing the clearance cannot survive. In the grounds of appeal, it has been argued that M/s BBCPL was incorporated as Pvt. Ltd. company in 1985, however, prior to 1985, it existed as partnership firm in the name of Bombay Bolting Cloth for almost a decade. It has been argued that this has not been sated in the show-cause notice due to lack of old records and activities. It has also been argued that 5 firms registered under Excise operated from the same premises at Mumbai and Bilmoria in Gujarat.

Ltd. -2005 (181) ELT 345 (SC), wherein the Hon'ble Apex Court has observed as follows: - 8. Non made up goods would, therefore, cover running length textiles, unprocessed in the manner specified in the Section Note. Sec n Note (SN)6 specifically provides that Chapters 52 to 55 would not apply to made up goods. It would logically follow that they would therefore apply to non-made up goods. According to SN-6 Chapters 56 to 60 unless the context so required would also not apply to made up goods and Chapters 50 to 55 would not apply to goods of Chapters 56 to 59. Chapter Note (CN)-6 of Chapter 59 clarifies 59.09 applies to specific goods as enumerated in paragraphs (a) and (b) thereof, which do not fall in any other heading of Section XI It follows that (l) unless the goods fall under paragraphs (a) or (b), they would not be covered by TH 59.09 and (2) that TH 59.09 is the residuary heading to cover all the enumerated goods provided they do not fall in any other heading of Section XI.
