Dipen Textiles (P) Ltd. vs Collector Of Central Excise on 5 June, 1992
2. Appearing on behalf of the appellant, Shri B.K. Singh, Learned SDR stated that the observation of the Collector (Appeals) that cutting of the material in the form of rolls is not recognised as manufacture is erroneous. He stated that in the case of Dipen Textiles (P) Ltd. v. Collector of Central Excise reported in 1992 (62) E.L.T. 430 the Tribunal has held that slitting and cutting of jumbo rolls of video magnetic tapes into pancakes amounts to manufacture. He submitted that the imported goods being in running length had to be deemed as raw materials.
