Therefore, it is his contention that only the weight gain due use of oils, cannot be the basis for demanding duty, on a theoretical calculation of production and clearance of the goods. However, he has fairly accepted that at the first stage, the technical opinion submitted by them stated that there cannot be any oil gain in dyed yarn and there could be some weight loss, is incorrect. 4.
