Case History
Summary: Commissioner of Central Excise, Jaipur v. M/s. Hindustan Zinc Ltd. (2004) The Supreme Court set aside the Tribunal's order and held that Hindustan Zinc Ltd. manufactured excisable anodes and cathodes by attaching headers to lead and aluminum sheets, creating new products with distinct names, character, and use in the electrolysis process. The Court found the company willfully suppressed this manufacturing fact at its Visakhapatnam unit while disclosing it at its Debari unit, justifying the extended period of limitation for duty assessment. The matter was remitted to the Tribunal to determine whether duty liability fell on the company or its job workers.
