When the exemption from the notification is clear and unambiguous, why there is a need for a case law? If you have any information of the case on such this issue, you may refer us for tracing out.

Rubberised Coir Mattresses, which were basically manufactured with Coir and it is covered with Foam sheet either quilted or unquilted. I checked up for such case law disputed by dept on the additon of the Foam sheet. However, Coir domination will be more than Foam and unless it is covered with Foam, it can not be used as Mattress. Please revert back your openion.
