The Registry had pointed out two defects by Defect Memo No. 352/93/CEGAT/Mas. and had issued defect notice calling upon them to rectify the same. The matter had been kept pending. A fresh notice was issued again on 22-9-1998. In response to the said notice, the learned Counsel filed a memo of rectification of defect, inasmuch as, the Order-in-Appeal was not attested. Therefore, the Registry numbered the appeal and has listed the stay application and appeal for hearing. 2. The learned Counsel submits that the issue lies on a short compass and being covered by the judgment of Tribunal in the case of C.C.E. v. Indian Aluminium Company Ltd. as reported in 1992 (59) E.L.T. 168 the denial of Modv .....

It is her contention that when the final product which was monoblock pump sets has been preceded with electric motors and that stators and rotors are necessary, when stators and rotors has been declared as final product, therefore, it followed that they were required to have filed a fresh declaration under Notification No. 117/88 (sic), dated 1-3-1986, although there is no dispute with regard to the use of intermediate products emerging and basic inputs of stamping wires being used.
