<h1>Appeals Allowed, Orders Set Aside for Fair Hearing</h1> <h3>PSG STEELS PVT. LTD. Versus C.C.E. & S.T. -PANCHKULA C.C.E. -DELHI-III</h3> PSG STEELS PVT. LTD. Versus C.C.E. & S.T. -PANCHKULA C.C.E. -DELHI-III - TMI Issues:Challenge to duty liability under the Compounded Levy Scheme for the period September 1997 to March 1998 and April 1998 to February 1999.Analysis:The appellants challenged the duty liability confirmed in the impugned order under the Compounded Levy Scheme for the mentioned periods. Initially, the Tribunal accepted the appellants' claim that duty should be based on actual production under Section 3A of the Central Excise Act, 1944. However, the adjudicating authority did not comply with the Tribunal's direction and determined duty liability under Section 3A(2) of the Act. The Tribunal remanded the matter twice, directing the authority to redetermine duty based on actual production. The High Court also directed a fresh decision, emphasizing the principles of natural justice. Despite the appellant's submissions, the impugned order was passed without due consideration. Therefore, the Tribunal set aside the order and directed the adjudicating authority to fix production capacity as per the Tribunal's previous order, giving a final opportunity for compliance.Final Decision:The impugned orders were set aside, and the appeals were allowed by way of remand, emphasizing the need for the adjudicating authority to pass an appropriate order in accordance with the law after providing a fair hearing to the appellants.
