Issues: Whether soap manufactured in a composite oil mill and solvent extraction unit was entitled to exemption under Notification No. 115/75-CE dated 30.4.1975, and whether the benefit could be denied on the ground that the solvent extraction plant was not continuously functional or that soap was not a bye-product of the notified industry.
Analysis: The exemption notification granted relief to goods manufactured in factories covered by the industries specified in the schedule, including oil mill and solvent extraction industry. The respondent was undisputedly engaged in a composite mill undertaking oil milling and solvent extraction. The notification did not prescribe that the exempted final goods must themselves be products of the scheduled industry, nor did it require continuous manufacture throughout the relevant period as a condition for availing the exemption. In the absence of contrary evidence showing that the respondent did not fall within the notified industry, the benefit could not be denied merely because soap was also manufactured or because the revenue sought to insist on an implied functionality requirement not found in the notification.
Conclusion: The soap manufactured by the respondent was entitled to exemption under Notification No. 115/75-CE, and the revenue's challenge to the dropping of proceedings failed.
