Issues: Whether the manufacture of waterproof packing rolls and sheets falls under clause 2 read with item 4 of Annexure III to the notification dated 31 December 1976, or under clause 3 so as to disentitle the unit from exemption and render the recognition certificate liable to cancellation.
Analysis: The unit manufactured waterproof packing rolls and sheets by bituminising kraft paper and binding it with hessian or polythene sheets. The dispute turned on whether this activity amounted to manufacture of paper or manufacture of packing material. The Court applied its earlier decision on an identical factual and legal question and held that waterproof packing rolls and sheets are packing materials and not paper. On that view, clause 3 of the notification was not attracted, while clause 2 read with item 4 of Annexure III covered the unit's raw materials and the exemption continued to apply. The show cause notice proposing cancellation of the recognition certificate therefore lacked jurisdiction.
Conclusion: The petitioner was entitled to exemption on purchases of raw materials for manufacture of waterproof packing rolls and sheets, and the impugned show cause notice could not be sustained.
Ratio Decidendi: A product manufactured as waterproof packing rolls or sheets, even if made with kraft paper as one component, is packing material and not paper for the purpose of an exemption notification; therefore, the exemption applicable to packing materials cannot be denied by treating the unit as engaged in the manufacture of paper.
