These appeals can be conveniently disposed of by a common Judgment as the issue which arises in these appeals is more or less same. So far as CEXA No.89 of 2008 is concerned, it takes exception to the Judgment and Order dated 22nd August 2007 passed by the Customs, Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal, West Zonal Bench, Mumbai (for short the Appellate Tribunal)

CCE Kutch (Gandhidham) Vs. Almac Enterprise (CESTAT Ahmedabad) Repair and maintenance of plant and machinery is an activity without which smooth manufacturing is not possible. Commercially, manufacturing activity is not possible with malfunctioning machines, and leaking tanks, pipes and tubes.
The issue involved in both these appeals being the same were heard together and disposed by this common order. The parties hereinafter referred to as assessee and department for the sake of convenience.
Various goods on which the Revenue seeks to collect Excise duty are all, admittedly, products incidentally arising during the manufacture of finished goods on which in any case, the appellant is discharging duty. These scrap material are not emerging due to a process of manufacture. Hence, they do not qualify to be taxed for excise levy.
In our considered opinion, the production is the same, manufacturing and the process is the same and excise duty is liable on the manufacturing, merely because in the certificate there is no mention of MS Special, the taxing statute will not be different. In view thereof, the view taken by the Tribunal is just and proper and no interference is required.
