Issues: Whether inputs and packing materials imported into a 100% EOU without payment of duty under Notification No. 22/2003-CE, but later destroyed in floods and not used in manufacture of exported goods, remained eligible for the notification and immunity from duty demand.
Analysis: The notification was held to be conditional and to permit destruction only in the limited situations expressly covered by it. The destroyed goods could not be treated as rejected goods by extending the notification beyond its plain terms. The factual position showed that the goods were not used in the export goods, and there was no provision in the notification for remission merely because the loss resulted from a natural disaster. Reliance on decisions concerning remission under Rule 21 of the Central Excise Rules, 2002 was found inapplicable.
Conclusion: The demand of duty was upheld and the assessee was held not entitled to the benefit of the notification on these facts.
Final Conclusion: The duty demand was sustained on a strict reading of the exemption notification, and the appeal failed.
Ratio Decidendi: A conditional exemption notification must be construed strictly, and destroyed goods cannot be brought within its scope by analogy where the notification does not expressly provide for remission in cases of natural disaster.
