Case History
Summary The Supreme Court dismissed the Commissioner of Central Excise's appeal on 25 September 2008. Dabur India Ltd. had claimed its "Dabur Lal Tail" product under tariff Chapter 30.03, but excise authorities demanded duty under Chapter 33.04 for June 1995-July 1998. The Tribunal held the demand time-barred because Dabur had filed approved classification lists since 1977. The Court upheld this, finding the extended limitation period unavailable where classification lists are duly approved.
