Issues: Whether waste arising during the manufacture of textured yarn processed by crimping or other texturising methods was entitled to the benefit of Notification No. 214/79.
Analysis: The notification exempted wastes arising during the manufacture of crimped yarn. The tariff explanation treated textured yarn as yarn processed to introduce crimps, coils, loops or curls. The Tribunal held that crimping was one method of texturisation and that a restrictive reading excluding waste from other texturising methods would create an artificial distinction between wastes having the same physical properties and end-use. Exemption notifications must be construed strictly according to their language, but such construction cannot be so narrow as to render the provision anomalous or absurd. Where two views are possible, the interpretation favourable to the assessee is to be adopted.
Conclusion: The waste generated in the manufacture of textured yarn was covered by the notification. The issue was decided in favour of the assessee.
Final Conclusion: The order denying exemption was set aside and the appeal was allowed with consequential relief.
Ratio Decidendi: An exemption notification must be read strictly, but where the language reasonably admits of more than one construction, the interpretation that avoids absurdity and favours the assessee must prevail.
