....s asking them to show cause why the benefits of the notification 6/2002 dated 01.03.2002 (Sl No. 237 of the notification) should not be denied on the ground that the goods cleared by the appellants were only in parts of non conventional energy devices/systems and not the complete device itself. Sl No. 16 of the list 9 to the said notification covered during the relevant period a complete device and not parts. Parts are allowed for exemption only when they were consumed within the factory of consumption for such manufacturing of such device. The appellant replied to the said Show Cause Notice clearly stating that they had cleared the complete device in Knocked Down Condition. It is a well known fact that huge machineries and devices cannot b....

Consultant further submitted that the Notification No. 6/2002 exempts non-conventional energy device/system as specified in the list-9 from whole of excise duty leviable thereon.

....energy (18) Solarlan (19) Ocean thermal energy conversion system (20) Solar Photovoltaic cell parts consumed within the factory of production of such parts for the manufacture of goods specified at S.Nos. 1 to 20 above. 5. On comparison of these descriptions with other descriptions given in the same list, it is clear that while other descriptions specifically refer to a particular device/machine, the description against Sl No 16, is so wide and comprehensive so as to cover all types of conversion devices which are required for conversion of the waste for producing energy.

We find that this conclusion has not been arrived at based upon the descript....
