of <h1>Supreme Court clarifies manufacturing for excise duty. Dispute remanded for fresh hearing.</h1> <h3>HAWKINS COOKERS LIMITED Versus COLLECTOR OF C. EX., CHANDIGARH</h3> HAWKINS COOKERS LIMITED Versus COLLECTOR OF C. EX., CHANDIGARH - 1997 (96) E.L.T. 507 (S.C.) Issues involved: Determination of whether the process undertaken by M/s. Pressure Cookers and Appliances Limited (PCA) amounts to manufacturing for the purpose of attracting excise duty.Summary:The Supreme Court of India, in a judgment delivered by S.C. Sen, J., addressed the dispute between M/s. Pressure Cookers and Appliances Limited (PCA) and the Revenue regarding the manufacturing process of certain assembled goods. The Tribunal initially accepted that PCA only packed goods bought from different suppliers, but still considered this process as manufacturing, contrary to the Collector's view that a manufacturing process had indeed taken place. The Court found the Tribunal's order to be erroneous as it failed to determine if a new product emerged from PCA's activities, a crucial factor in establishing manufacturing for excise duty purposes. Consequently, the Court decided to remand the case back to the Collector for a fresh hearing, allowing both parties to present additional evidence if necessary. The appeal was thus disposed of with no order as to costs.
