No. 237 "non-conventional energy device/systems specified in List 9" is confined by what is mentioned in List 9, there is no scope for interpreting the word device in this entry so as to cover parts of non-conventional energy system within this entry.

No. 21 covers only those parts which are captively used in manufacture of complete conventional energy systems. Therefore, in o....

The ratio of the above judgment is squarely applicable to the facts of the instant case. As the appellant is n....
