C.C.E. Madurai-2 vs M/S Gomathy Mills on 11 May, 2001
Therefore, we set aside the impugned order and remand the matter in all the above appeals for de novo consideration in the light of the ratio of the larger bench decision in the case of Ballarpur Industries vs. CCE (supra) and the earlier judgement cited by the SDR. The written submissions filed by the respondents is also required to be considered buy the original authority in the de novo proceedings after granting opportunity of hearing to the parties. Thus the impugned order is set aside and the matter remanded for de novo consideration. The appeals and cross objections are allowed by remand to the original authority.
