CESTAT allowed the appeal and set aside the impugned adjudicatory order. The Tribunal held that the exemption notification does not impose a condition that exported jewellery must be manufactured exclusively from imported gold; the show cause notice and adjudication erred by importing instructions from a CBEC circular into the notification.

Consequently the demand of duty, interest and penalties premised on the misconceived reading of the circular was unsustainable and was quashed.
