Issues: Whether Serial No. 26 of Notification No. 42/96 dated 23.07.1996 could be applied to ductile iron pipes imported for a drinking water supply project, and whether the assessee was entitled to exemption under the relevant customs notifications and Heading 98.01 of the Customs Tariff Act.
Analysis: The exemption claim was examined on the basis of the notification text, the supporting documents, and the nature of the imported goods. The decisive consideration was that the notification was construed as granting relief to the water treatment or water supply project units covered by it, and not to all goods merely used in such a project. The Court also noted that an identical controversy had already been decided against the assessee by the Supreme Court in relation to Notification No. 21/2002-Cus., where the benefit was held unavailable to the claimant.
Conclusion: The ductile iron pipes were not covered by the exemption notification, and the substantial question of law was answered against the assessee and in favour of the Revenue.
Ratio Decidendi: An exemption notification for a drinking water supply project must be construed according to its terms, and goods used in the project do not qualify unless they fall within the class of units or items expressly covered by the notification.
