Classification and excisability of Rubberised Nylon Tyre Cord Fabrics upheld, with marketability issue not kept open for later review.

The Tribunal treated the classification and excisability of Rubberised Nylon Tyre Cord Fabrics as settled by existing precedent and declined to keep marketability open for future determination. The Karnataka HC found no basis to interfere with that view and accepted that the assessment order had been correctly affirmed. The challenge to the classification, excisability, and connected claim for exemption therefore failed, and the finding against the assessee was sustained.
