in the case of Glass Wool manufactured by Hagers process but retained it at Rs.
By a numberification dated March 1, 1973 the levy was imposed for the first time at the rate of Rs.
1.50 per Kg.
1.50 paise per Kg.
during the period from March 1, 1973 to April 30, 1973.
in the case of Glass Wool manufactured by any other process.
On a representation made by the manufacturers of Glass Wool the Government of India reconsidered the matter and by a numberification dated April 30, 1973 reduced the duty to 0.20 paisa per Kg.
It appears that by a numberification dated November 6, 1965 Glass Wool was originally totally exempted from the levy of Central Excise Duty.
As the petitioner does number companyplain against the levy as imposed by the numberification dated April 30, 1973, we are companycerned only with the levy of duty of Glass Wool manufactured by Hagers process during the short period between March 1, 1973 to April 30, 1973.
1.50 paisa per Kg.
