Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Mumbai

Decided on: Jan-30-1997

Reported in: (1998)(104)ELT687Tri(Mum.)bai

1. After hearing both the sides, we have decided to take up the appeal itself for disposal with the consent of both sides.2. The notice issued to the appellant proposed classification of the product manufactured by it under Heading 3204.21. By a subsequent corrigendum this was amended to 3204.11. After considering the cause shown and hearing the appellant the Commissioner confirmed the classification of the product under Heading 3404.21. If, by amendment to the notice, the assessee was asked to show cause why the product in question should not be classified under a particular heading, the reply would have been directed towards dealing with that classification and that we find that the Commissioner confirmed the classification under a different heading. It would follow that the order has been passed without giving the appellant reasonable opportunity of showing the cause to the proposed reclassification. The order cannot be sustained for this reason.3. On this ground we allow the appea...
