Issues: Whether the appellant was entitled to unconditional stay in a job-work dispute where exemption under Notification No. 214/86-C.E. was denied, and whether Rule 57AC could be applied on the footing that it was identical to erstwhile Rule 57F(4).
Analysis: The appellant received man-made fabrics for processing as a job worker and returned the processed goods to the principal manufacturer. The claim for exemption under Notification No. 214/86-C.E. had been denied on the ground that the goods were not covered by the specified final products. The Tribunal noted that Rule 57AC was identical to erstwhile Rule 57F(4) of the Central Excise Rules, 1944, and that the procedure followed under Notification No. 214/86-C.E. was also the same as the procedure contemplated under Rule 57AC. On that basis, the appellant was found to have established a prima facie case for relief.
Conclusion: The stay petition was allowed unconditionally in favour of the appellant.
Final Conclusion: Interim relief was granted because the job-work procedure and the governing credit-rule framework were treated as materially the same for the purpose of stay.
Ratio Decidendi: Where the relevant job-work procedure under a notification is materially identical to the procedure under the applicable credit rule, and the appellant establishes a prima facie case, unconditional stay may be granted.
