The Supreme Court last week dismissed the appeal of Parle Bisleri Ltd challenging the ruling against it by the Customs, Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal (CESTAT) in an excise dispute over its soft drink flavours and the use of their brand names. Apart from Parle Bisleri, two others involved were Parle Exports Ltd and Parle International Ltd. Parle Bisleri claimed excise benefits as a small scale industry in the 1990’s. The claim was rejected by the tribunal. It appealed to the Supreme Court, which stated that the tribunal was right in denying the benefit by clubbing the products of the three companies. The court said: “the three companies in question were intertwined in their operation and management… It would likely seem that the purported fragmentation of the manufacturing process was but a mere ploy to avail of the SSI exemption. Piercing the corporate veil, when the notions of beneficial ownership and interdependency come into the picture, are no longer disputed questions. On this count, therefore, we have no hesitation whatsoever in affirming the order of the tribunal,which was justified entirely through the precedent set by this court.”
