There are other capital goods which are used in the mines and all these capital goods though used exclusively in the mines are also helping in or in relation to the manufacture of final product. Therefore, Modvat credit on such capital goods has also to be given on the same premise as the Hon ble Apex Court has allowed them Modvat for expolsives used in the excavation of lime stones. The list of capital goods which are used exclusively in the mines is like AC Motors, cables, grinding wheels, machine parts, gear box, roller chains, and hydraulic jacks etc. 4. Heard ld.

In so far as Appeal No. E/720/2001 arising out of order in appeal No. 1/2001 on the capital goods which are used exclusively in the mines (except parts of conveyor belts since the conveyor belt is used both in the mines as well as in the factory). We, therefore, reject the Modvat credit on the capital goods which are exclusively used in the mines and allow the Modvat credit only on parts of the conveyor belts which are used both in the mines and at the factory s end.
