Summarize the following court judgment. vil Appeal Nos. 1335 36 of 1987. From the Judgment and Order dated 3.10.1986 of the Customs Excise and Gold (Control) Appellate Tribunal New Delhi in appeal No. E 1568 & 1569/81 BI in Order No. 673/86 BI. A.S. Nambiar and B. Parthasarthi for the Appellant. Kuldip Singh	 Additional Solicitor General	 A.K. Srivastava and Mrs. Sushma Suri for the Respondents. The Judgment of the Court was delivered by SABYASACHI MUKHARJI	 J. These are appeals under section 35L of the (hereinafter called `the Act ') arise from the decision of the Customs	 Excise and Gold (Control) Appellate Tribunal (CEGAT for short)	 New Delhi. The question that fell for consideration by the Tribunal is whether the appellant M/s. Narne Tulaman Manufacturers Pvt. Ltd. manufactured weighbridges and as such was liable to duty under the Act. It appears that weighbridges consisted of three different parts	 namely	 (1) Platform	 (2) Load Cells and (3) Indicating system. The contention of the appellant was that he got the platform manufactured from other people. The load cells were imported and the appellant only made the indicator system. In other words	 it was the case of the appellant that it manufactured only the indicator system. The question	 that fell for the Tribunal 's determination is whether the activity indisputably carried out by the appellant amounted to manufacture and what does it manufacture? It has been found that "the appellant brought PG NO 3 the three components together at site	 fitted and assembled them together so that they can work as one machine and as such the appellant manufactured and created a new weighbridge". The aforesaid findings appear in paragraph 5 of the Tribunal 's order. That weighbridge had not been excised before is not disputed. The term of the central excise speaks of "weighbridge"; whenever weighbridges are made	 those weighbridges are subjected to duty as such. The Tribunal held that by whatever process it became a complete weighbridge as long as a weighbridge has been made and completed	 duty has to be paid. According to the Tribunal	 though the parts are themselves liable to excise duty and so the complete machine is also a new excisable good. In view of the well settled principles	 the excisable goods are manufactured by the appellant. Section 2(f) of the Act provides an inclusive definition and states that the word "manufacture" includes any process incidental or ancillary to the completion of a manufactured product. So any process by which an object becomes new commercial goods	 including any process incidental or ancillary to the completion would be manufacture. Manufacture means bringing into existence new goods. This Court observed in Union of India vs Delhi Cloth Mills	 [1963] Suppl. I S.C.R. 586 that manufacture implies a change	 but every change is not manufacture and yet every change of an article is the result of treatment	 labour and manipulation. But something more is necessary and there must be transformation	 a new and different article must emerge having a distinctive name	 character or use. The question	 therefore is whether the activity carried out by the appellant of assembling the three Components of the weighbridge brings into being complete weighbridge which was a distinctive name	 character or use. See also the observations of this Court in Allenburry Engineers (p) Ltd. Ramakrishna Dalmia & Ors.	 ; and Idandas vs Ananat Ramachandra Phadke	 ; The appellant 's contention before the Tribunal was that it was only preparing a part and that part is dutiable as a separate part. The appellant	 however	 did the work of assembling. As a result of the work of the appellant a new product known in the market and known under the excise item "weighbridge" comes into being. The appellant will become a manufacturer of that product and as such liable to duty. That is precisely what the Tribunal found on the facts of the case. The appellant seems to have been obsessed by the idea that as a part of machine is liable to duty then the whole end product should not be dutiable as separate excise goods. That is mistake	 a part may be goods as known in the excise laws and may be goods as known in the excise laws and may be dutiable. The appellant in this case claims to have PG NO 4 manufactured only the indicator system. If the indicator system is a separate part and a duty had been paid on it and if the rules so provide then the appellant may be entitled to abatement under the rules. But if the end product is a separate product which comes into being as a result of the endeavour and activity of the appellant then the appellant must be held to have manufactured the said item. When parts and the end product are separately dutiable both are taxable. In that view of the matter	 the appellant 's case that it is liable only for the component part and not the end product cannot be entertained. The Tribunal was	 therefore	 right in the view it took. These appeals have no merit and are accordingly dismissed. This order will not prejudice the rights of the appellant to claim	 if any	 abatement as indicated before according to the rules if the appellant is so entitled. R.S.S. Appeals dismissed.

The appellant manufactured one of the three parts	 i.e.	 Indicating system	 required for the manufacture of weighbridges	 and after procuring the other two parts brought the three components together at site	 fitted and assembled them together and thus created a new weighbridge. The appellant challenged the excise duty levied on the manufacture of weighbridges under the . The appellant 's contention before the Customs	 Excise and Gold (Control) Appellate Tribunal was that it was preparing only a part of the weighbridge which was dutiable as a separate part	 and that as a part of machine was liable to duty then the whole end product should not be dutiable as separate excise goods. The Tribunal held that by whatever process it became a complete weighbridge	 as long as a weighbridge had been made and completed	 duty had to be paid. According to the Tribunal	 though the parts were themselves liable to excise duty	 the complete machine was also a new excisable Commodity. Dismissing the appeal	 it was	 HELD: (1) Section 2(f) of the Act provides an inclusive definition and states that the word "manufacture" includes any process incidental or ancillary to the completion of a manufactured product. So any process by which an object becomes new commercial Commodity	 including any process identical or ancillary to to the completion	 would be manufacture.[3C] (2) Manufacture means bringing into existence new goods. There must be transformation and a new and different article PG NO 1 PG NO 2 must emerge having a distinctive name	 character or use.

(3) If the end product is a separate product which comes into being as a result of the endeavour and activity of the appellant	 then the appellant must be held to have manufactured the said item. When parts and the end product are separately dutiable both are taxable. [4A B]
