2015 (12) TMI 666 - SUPREME COURTManufacture - Ready Mix Concrete - RMC or MC - Held that:- Respondent had taken a specific plea before the Adjudicating Authority that the produce in question is not RMC but only 'Mix Concrete' (MC). This contention was rejected by the Adjudicating Authority in Order-in-Original passed by it. The assessee had challenged those findings before the Tribunal. However, the Tribunal did not go into this aspect as it proceeded on the basis that even if it was RMC produced at site, the same shall be entitled to exemption under the requisite Notification. In view thereof, the matter needs to be remanded back to the Tribunal to decide the aforesaid factual aspect viz. whether the produce in question is RMC manufactured at site or is it MC as contended by the assessee. - assessee is to be given a chance to contest the finding of the Adjudicating Authority, once such a stand is taken before the Tribunal and there is no finding thereon recorded by the Tribunal. However, we make it clear that it will always be open to the appellant/Department to justify the order passed by the Adjudicating Authority on the basis of material which is relied upon by the Adjudicating Authority including the statements of the officials of the assessee and effect thereof. - Impugned order is set aside - Decided in favour of assessee.
