What the Court ordered

We hold that the reasoning and conclusion of the Appellate I;I 898 SUPREME COURT REPORTS [1997.) 1 S.C.R. A Tribunal is based on surmises and the Tribunal ignored the earlier trade notice of 1981 without proper reasons therefor, Firstly, the tariff advice No. 6/85 dated 6.2.1985 which is said to have been accompanied by a "model" trade notice is not part of the record.
