The said condition No. 34 is reproduced herein below :- If made from yarn, monofilament, tapes or strips, on which the appropriate duty of excise leviable under the First Schedule, the special duty of excise leviable under the Second Schedule or, as the case may be, the additional duty leviable under the Customs Tariff Act, 1975 has already been paid. In view of the above condition, Revenue is denying the benefit of the Notification for ropes on the ground that the intermediary products themselves are exempted under Serial Nos. 77 129 of the same Notification No. 6/2002. As the intermediary products are exempted, according to the Revenue in terms of Board s Circular No. 667/58/2002-CX dated 28-9-2002, the exemptio .....

Hence the Commissioner s decision to extend the benefit of Notification No. 6/2002 for ropes in terms of Serial No. 142 is legal and proper. Hence we reject the Revenue s appeal. Applying the ratio of above order of tribunal we find that in the present case also there is no dispute that duty paid granules were used in manufacture and therefore the ratio of above judgment of Tribunal would apply to the present case. In case of plastic granules manufactured by the Appellant from waste plastic, the same is exempted from duty and there is no condition in terms of serial No. 73 of the Notification No. 6/2006 CE dt. 01.03.2006 that the waste should be duty paid.
