Issues: Whether the order rejecting dispensation of pre-deposit under Section 35F of the Central Excise Act, 1944 was liable to be set aside for being unreasoned and mechanical, and whether the matter should be remanded for fresh consideration.
Analysis: The impugned order was found to be mechanical and without application of mind. The petitioners' challenge was supported by the respondents' concession that the order could not be defended. The Court reiterated that orders on applications for dispensation of pre-deposit must reflect consideration of the relevant facts and circumstances and must be supported by reasons.
Conclusion: The impugned order was set aside and the matter was remanded to the Commissioner (Appeals) for a fresh hearing and a reasoned order.
