Issues: Whether drawing of wire from wire rod amounts to manufacture, and whether the assessee was entitled to waiver of pre-deposit and stay of recovery in view of the retrospective amendment.
Analysis: The activity in question was the drawing of wires from wire rods. The order noted that the Taxation Laws (Amendment) Act, 2006 was given retrospective effect for the relevant period and made clear that such activity amounts to manufacture. Since the period covered by the show cause notices fell within the retrospectively covered period, the order found a strong prima facie case in favour of the assessee.
Conclusion: The assessee was entitled to waiver of pre-deposit and stay of recovery.
