Issues: Whether spent earth is liable to central excise duty as an excisable manufactured product.
Analysis: The issue had already been decided by the Larger Bench, which held that spent earth is not liable to excise duty. The Division Bench noted that it was bound by that decision in judicial discipline and could not reopen the matter by reviewing the Larger Bench view. Following the binding precedent, the Bench accepted that spent earth did not amount to a manufactured product for excise purposes.
Conclusion: Spent earth is not excisable and is not liable to central excise duty.
