Issues: Whether the appellate order and the Tribunal order were sustainable when the claim based on the suo-moto de-bonding clarification and the applicable exit conditions of the 100% export oriented unit were not considered on merits.
Analysis: The matter had been remanded earlier for de novo consideration, requiring the first appellate authority to decide the dispute afresh on merits. The clarification dated 10.05.2019 stated that the suo-moto de-bonding order dated 08.08.2006 was to be treated as the final date of exit of the unit, and the relevant exit conditions governing de-bonding required consideration. The appellate order did not deal with this aspect, and the Tribunal also affirmed the order without assigning reasons on the core issue. Such disposal was held to be unsustainable because quasi-judicial authorities must apply their mind to the material placed before them and pass a reasoned order after considering the dispute on merits.
Conclusion: The Tribunal order and the appellate order were set aside, and the matter was remanded to the Commissioner (Appeals) for fresh consideration in accordance with law.
Final Conclusion: The dispute was reopened for de novo adjudication on the merits of the de-bonding claim and the applicable exit conditions, with no final determination of the duty liability at this stage.
Ratio Decidendi: Where a remand requires fresh adjudication on merits, a quasi-judicial authority must consider the relevant clarification and material issue-wise and pass a reasoned order; a mechanical affirmance without addressing the core contention is unsustainable.
