ORDER In this appeal the only question that falls for consideration is whether decorative laminated sheets are classifiable under sub-heading 4823.90 of the Central Excise Tariff, 1985-86 as held by the Central Excise and Gold (Control) Appellate Tribunal in its judgment dated 21-4-1994. This matter has been considered by this Court in CCE v. Wood Polymers Ltd.

For the reasons given in this judgment, the appeal is allowed. The impugned judgment of the Tribunal is set aside. It is held that the decorative laminated sheets manufactured by the respondent are classifiable under sub-heading 3920.21 till February 1988 and sub-heading 3920.37, on or after 1-3-1988. No order as to costs.
