Dispute Summary
Esbi Transmissions Private Ltd. challenged show cause notices issued by the Central Excise Department regarding its eligibility for SSI benefits while manufacturing 'Vulcan' diaphragm couplings. The department alleged that since a German company also used the 'VULCAN' trade name, Esbi was infringing on foreign rights and thus ineligible for duty exemptions. However, the Calcutta High Court ruled in favor of Esbi Transmissions, affirming that as the registered owner of the trademark 'Vulcan' in India, its use did not violate any provisions regarding third-party branding.
