M/S. NOBLE SYNTHETICS LTD. vs COLLECTOR OF CENTRAL EXCISE, BOMBAY

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the Tribunal's order modifying the Collector's decision regarding the classification of acrylic polymers under the Central Excise Tariff Act, 1985. The Court held that the revised classification list filed by the appellants was valid and that the extended period of limitation under Section 11A of the Central Excise Act, 1944, could not be invoked due to lack of evidence of collusion. Consequently, the Court set aside the demand for differential duty and the confiscation order, allowing the appeal in favor of the appellants.
