Issues: Whether single ply strawboard captively used in the manufacture of multiple ply strawboard became exigible to duty again under Rule 9, and whether the two stages represented distinct commodities so as to permit levy at both stages.
Analysis: The products at the single ply and multiple ply stages were found to remain strawboard throughout and to fall under the same Tariff Item 17. The tariff description did not distinguish between different ply formations, and no separate commodity with a different name, character or use emerged from the conversion process. The notification relied upon by the department was read as embodying the general principle that, where the same commodity is further manufactured within the factory, duty is attracted at the later stage and not by imposing a second levy on the same goods. The attempt to treat the process as manufacture of a new commodity was rejected, and the analogy of other products was held inapplicable.
Conclusion: Duty could not be levied again on single ply strawboard when duty had already been charged on the resulting multiple ply strawboard; the demand was unsustainable.
Final Conclusion: The appeal failed and the departmental challenge to the rejection of the duty demand was not accepted.
Ratio Decidendi: Where goods at two stages remain the same commodity and do not acquire a distinct name, character or use, captively consumed intermediate goods cannot be subjected to a second levy merely because they are further processed into the final product.
