M/S. COMPACK PVT. LTD. vs COMMNR. OF CENT. EX. & CUSTOMS, VADODARA

The Supreme Court interpreted the exemption notification dated 28.02.1982, as amended, in relation to the MODVAT credit claimed by the Appellant under the Central Excise Rules, 1944. The Court held that the Appellant was not entitled to the concessional rate of duty as per Notification No. 67/82-CE, affirming the decisions of the lower authorities. The ruling clarified that the Appellant's use of LDPE coated paper did not meet the eligibility criteria for the claimed exemption, thus upholding the recovery of differential duty amounting to Rs. 3,91,228/-.
