The appellant contended that they produced clay bricks/tiles manually and mechanically from local clay, used in construction. A show cause notice was issued for duty demand under chapter 69. The appellant argued that the case was fact-based to determine if they manufactured ceramic tiles. The respondent objected, stating it was a classification issue for a Division Bench. The tribunal found the case focused on whether the appellant made ceramic tiles or not, not a classification matter, proceeding with the disposal.During arguments, the appellant presented the manufacturing process involving clay kneading, feeding, grinding, molding, drying, firing, and sorting before sale.
