The learned JDR, in the face of the above statement recorded from two senior officers of the appellants, submitted that the impugned order is perfectly in order and the appeal is devoid of merits. He, therefore, prayed for rejection of the appeal. While winding up his arguments, he pressed into service the decision of the North Regional Bench in the case of Ranjeev Steel Ltd. v. CCE, Chandigarh, 2003 (154) ELT 450 wherein it is held that waste and scrap arising out of mechanical working of iron or steel are liable to duty, and not waste and scrap as a result of wear and tear of ingots mould.
