4. I have examined the case record and heard both sides and I am of the view that the lower authorities have not strictly followed the principle of natural justice before passing the Order in this case. I, therefore, set aside the order passed by both, the Commissioner (Appeals) as well as Asst. Commissioner of Central Excise and remand the matter back to the original authorities for affording full opportunity to the appellants before finalizing the matter on merits.
