S.P. Bharucha, J. - There appears to us to be an apparent conflict between the view taken earlier in Collector of Central Excise v. Usha Martin Industries, and the view taken in Motiram Tolaram v. U.O.I. - paragraph 12. Both are judgments of Benches of three learned judges. This matter must, therefore, be heard by a Constitution Bench. Place before the Hon'ble the Chief Justice for appropriate directions.
