The CESTAT upheld the appellant's prior ruling that filling toner powder into used cartridges constitutes "manufacture" under the Customs (Import of Goods at Concessional Rate of Duty for Manufacture of Excisable Goods) Rules, 1996.

Consequently, the impugned order was set aside, and the appeal was allowed, granting the appellant the benefit of concessional duty.
