Summary: On August 27, 2003, the Supreme Court dismissed the Collector of Central Excise Pune's appeal against M/s Wander Ltd. regarding the tax treatment of the product "Spert." The Court upheld the Tribunal's decision that Spert was exempted from central excise duty based on an earlier 1987 judgment, and therefore the question of valuation did not arise. The Court held that while a subsequent 1999 decision reclassified Spert as an edible preparation rather than a dairy product, it could not be applied retroactively to this case and would only apply to future disputes on exemption status. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
