Both parties acknowledged that the issue at hand pertains to the classification of coal, which is currently pending before the Hon'ble Apex Court.The Tribunal noted that a Larger Bench of the CESTAT, in a previous case involving M/s. Tamil Nadu Generation & Distribution Corpn. Ltd., had remanded a similar issue back to the adjudicating authority to await the decision of the Hon'ble Apex Court in another case. Subsequently, in a batch of appeals involving M/s.

All arguments and contentions were left open, and the appeals were disposed of by way of remand.The order was pronounced in the open court on 13.12.2023.
