Analysis:
The appellant, a 100% EOU engaged in manufacturing various products for export, faced allegations of manufacturing both dutiable and exempted goods without maintaining separate accounts as per Rule 6 of the CCR. The Department issued show-cause notices demanding credit attributable to alleged exempted goods and services. The Jt. Commissioner confirmed duty, interest, and penalties, leading to appeals before the Commissioner(Appeals), who rejected them. The appellant contended that the impugned order did not consider all facts and law, contrary to binding judicial precedents. The appellant argued that the appellate Commissioner failed to address key issues, including the sale of surplus electrical energy and errors in computation, which were crucial for determining tax liability.

The appellant highlighted that the appellate Commissioner's refusal to consider errors in computation, citing Rule 5(1) of the Central Excise (Appeals) Rules, 2001, was incorrect as it pertained to computational mistakes based on existing records, not new evidence. The appellant emphasized the need to address all grounds affecting tax liability, citing relevant legal decisions. The appellate Commissioner's failure to consider documents proving separate account maintenance by various units further weakened the impugned order's validity.

Upon review, the Tribunal found that the Commissioner(Appeals) did not address all grounds raised by the appellant and wrongly denied rectification of computation errors. The Tribunal emphasized that additional issues impacting tax liability could be raised in appeals, as established by legal precedents. The Tribunal concluded that the impugned order was unsustainable, setting it aside and remanding the case to the original authority for a fresh decision considering all evidence and documents provided by the appellant. The appeals were allowed by way of remand, ensuring a comprehensive review of all relevant materials before reaching a final decision.
