Case History
Summary: The Supreme Court dismissed the Collector of Central Excise's appeals against M/S. D.B. Electronics regarding central excise duty on UPS systems manufactured by the respondents. The case involved whether the respondents qualified for exemption under Notification No.46/81-CE; the Collector's 1988 demand was initially set aside by CEGAT on natural justice grounds and remitted. On rehearing, the Collector accepted the respondents' ESI and Provident Fund returns but levied fresh demand based on wage statements. The Court upheld the Tribunal's finding that this demand was based on "surmises and conjunctures" rather than concrete evidence, confirming dismissal with no order as to costs (29 September 2005).
