1. In this appeal the Revenue has contested the validity of the impugned order-in-appeal vide which the Commissioner (Appeals) has reversed the order-in-original and allowed the refund claim of the respondents with interest.2. The learned SDR has contended that since the adjudication proceedings for the duty demand are pending against the respondents on remand by the Tribunal, the refund claim could not be allowed being premature. Therefore, the impugned order deserves to be set aside.
