Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the classification of 'power controllers' under the Central Excise Tariff Act, specifically examining Sub-heading 8536.90 and Sub-heading 8543.00. The Court held that 'power controllers' are classified under Sub-heading 8536.90 as they are designed for switching or protecting electrical circuits, thus rejecting the Department's classification under Sub-heading 8543.00. The Court's ruling overturned the Tribunal's decision, affirming the Collector (Appeals) classification and allowing the appeals of the manufacturers.
