Issues: (i) Whether the impugned order should be set aside and the matter remanded because the applicability of the cited Central Excise Rules to a 100% export-oriented unit had not been examined.
Analysis: The order records that the appellant raised a substantial question regarding the applicability of Rule 53, Rule 209A and Rule 173Q to a 100% export-oriented unit. The adjudicating authority had not examined that legal issue, even though it went to the basis of confiscation and penalties imposed. As the issue required determination at the first instance, the matter could not be finally concluded on the existing order.
Conclusion: The impugned order was set aside and the matter was remanded to the adjudicating authority for fresh decision on all issues, including the applicability of the rules to the 100% export-oriented unit.
