Collector Of Central Excise, Vadodra vs M/S. Dhiren Chemical Industries on 12 December, 2001
"Despite the categorical language of the clarification by
the Constitution Bench, the issue was again sought to be
raised before a Bench of three Judges in Central Board
of Central Excise, Vadodara v. Dhiren Chemicals
I.T.A. Nos. 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44 & 45 of 2022 Page 15 of 17
Industries: 2002 (143) ELT 19 where the view of the
Constitution Bench regarding the binding nature of
circulars issued under Section 37B of the Central Excise
Act, 1944 was reiterated after it was drawn to the
attention of the Court by the Revenue that there were in
fact circulars issued by the Central Board of Excise and
Customs which gave a different interpretation to the
phrase as interpreted by the Constitution Bench.
