Case History
Summary of M/S. Sunny Industries Pvt. Ltd. v. Collector of Central Excise, Calcutta (2003) The Supreme Court upheld the classification of Sunny Industries' Ad-vitamin Massage Oil Forte as a cosmetic/toilet preparation under Tariff Item 33.04 rather than a patent/proprietary medicine under Tariff Item 30.03. The Court held that products used for skin care and massage, even if containing vitamins or having marginal medicinal properties, fall under cosmetics classification since the product is for "care of skin" not "cure of skin." Appeals dismissed with no order as to costs. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
