Issues: Whether the exemption from Central Excise duty under Notification No. 217/86 extended to cess.
Analysis: The notification granted exemption only from Central Excise duty and did not refer to the levy under which cess was charged. An exemption from excise duty does not, by itself, operate as an exemption from cess unless the notification expressly covers that levy.
Conclusion: The exemption under Notification No. 217/86 was not available in respect of cess; the appeal was allowed in favour of the Revenue.
Ratio Decidendi: A notification exempting Central Excise duty does not extend to cess unless the notification expressly or by necessary implication covers the cess levy.
