....n, the appellant relied upon the decision rendered in the case of CCE vs. Shilpa Copper Wire Industries: 2011 (269) ELT 17. He further submitted that the decision of the Tribunal in the case of CCE vs. Trimurti Plast Containers Pvt. Ltd.: 2018 (364) ELT 432 (Tri.-Mum.) is not applicable in the present case.
