Bata India Ltd. vs Commissioner Of Central Excise on 24 December, 2001
In BMF Beltings Ltd. v. Union of India , the Hon'ble Andhra Pradesh High Court has observed that if the product in question is not generally marketed and is not known in the market as a product by itself which can be bought and sold across the counter in the open market then it does not come within the category of the 'goods' as envisaged under Section 3. By observing so the Hon'ble High Court has held that the unvulcanised friction cloth used in manufacture of belts not capable of being generally marketed cannot be held to be goods.
