1. The Revenue is aggrieved by the order of the Commissioner (Appeals) remanding the issue in dispute for fresh decision by the adjudicating authority, on the ground that with the amendment to Section 35A (3) of the Central Excise Act, 1944, the Commissioner (Appeals) has no power of remand. 2. None appears for the respondents in spite of notice. Hence I heard ld. SDR and perused the records. 3. It has been held by the Tribunal in the case of Kodai Automobiles Ltd. - Final Order No.930/10 dt. 25.8.10 that the Commissioner (Appeals) has no power to remand after the amendment to Section 35A (3) w.e.f 11.5.2001 under the Finance Bill, 2001.

1. The petitioner is the assessee. The challenge is to the order of the Special Tribunal dated 20.6.2002.

In fact, the Special Tribunal, while passing its orders, referred to a decision of the Karnataka High Court in Azad Coach Builders Private Limited v. State of Karnataka reported in 123 STC 473. That very decision of the Karnataka High Court was taken on appeal by the State of Karnataka in Civil Appeal Nos.5616-5617 of 2000 and Civil Appeal Nos.6594-6598 of 2000 (State of Karnataka v.
