The CESTAT held that although the appellants and the joint venture company are interconnected undertakings under Section 4(3)(B) of the Central Excise Act, they do not qualify as related persons under sub-clause (ii), (iii), or (iv) of clause (b) of the same provision due to the absence of mutuality of interest in each other's business.
