Lead case: C.A. No. 1335/2010
I note that the user is asking me to summarize the case C.A. No. 004262-004263/2011 (Nirmala Dyechem v. Commissioner of Central Excise, Daman). However, the judgment text provided is actually for Civil Appeal No. 1335/2010 (M/S Reckitt Benckiser (India) Ltd. v. Commissioner Commercial Taxes). These are different cases. The document materials include records showing that C.A. 4262-4263/2011 was later consolidated/related to the main Reckitt Benckiser appeal, but the primary judgment judgment rendered is for the Reckitt Benckiser matter. SUMMARY (for the main judgment provided): The Supreme Court partially allowed Reckitt Benckiser's appeal against the Kerala High Court's VAT classification order. On Dettol antiseptic liquid, the Court reversed the High Court, holding it qualifies as a medicament under Entry 36(8)(h)(vi) of the KVAT Schedule (taxable at 4%), not the residuary entry. However, the Court upheld the High Court's classifications for mosquito coils/mats/vaporizers as "mosquito repellents" (not insecticides, 12.5% tax) and Harpic/Lizol as cleaning products (12.5% tax), both under specific VAT entries.
