Issues: Whether the demand of duty was rightly treated as one on the ingots cleared to the job worker, and whether the respondent was entitled to Small Scale Industries exemption under Notification No. 16/97 in respect of the re-rolled products cleared by it.
Analysis: The demand confirmed by the adjudicating authority and the first appellate authority was on the re-rolled products cleared by the respondent, not on the ingots sent to the job worker. The exemption under Notification No. 16/97 was claimed by the respondent for the clearances made by it, but the respondent was not the manufacturer of the re-rolled products. The Tribunal proceeded on an erroneous assumption that the dispute related to the ingots removed to the job worker and also examined the position under Notification No. 214/86, whereas the relevant issue was the respondent's eligibility for exemption on the final products cleared by it.
Conclusion: The Tribunal's order was set aside and the matter was remitted to the Tribunal for fresh decision after considering the respondent's liability on the re-rolled products.
Final Conclusion: The appeal was not finally resolved on merits, and the dispute was sent back for reconsideration on the correct factual and legal basis.
Ratio Decidendi: An exemption dispute must be decided with reference to the goods on which duty is demanded and the person liable to pay that duty, and a tribunal commits error if it decides the case on a mistaken understanding of the subject matter of the demand.
