Issues: Whether the State could levy excise duty on loss of rectified spirit.
Analysis: The demand was founded on loss of rectified spirit. The governing principle applied was that the State has no jurisdiction to levy excise duty on rectified spirit, as excise duty can be levied only on potable liquor fit for human consumption. Since rectified spirit does not fall within that category, the levy could not be sustained.
Conclusion: The levy of excise duty on rectified spirit was impermissible and the impugned order was set aside in favour of the assessee.
