2016 (4) TMI 1070 - HC - Central ExciseJob Work - Removal of drums without payment of duty - Held that:- the Company was undertaking a job work. M/s. HPCL and will not allow its raw material to be utilized for the manufacture of drums for others or to allow to dispose of the production of drums in any manner other than to supply them. That is how the allegations in the show-cause notice regarding deliveries of drums to undisclosed parties was denied and termed as imaginary. Once the job work was the activity undertaken and there was a denial of the liability to pay duty, so also on the above material that the least that is expected of a last fact finding authority, viz., the Customs, Excise & Service Tax Appellate Tribunal is to consider this aspect in detail. That it is factual but necessarily requires and merits its consideration goes without saying, else, a party like the Appellant has no opportunity to satisfy any authority that the adjudication is not in accordance with law and that there is a perversity in the order-in-original. If as an Appellate Authority, the Tribunal does not wish to examine this, then, its refusal raises a substantial question of law. The last fact finding authority, viz., the Tribunal should have gone by the record. By not considering the record in its entirety and referring to some isolated event that too in an incomplete manner leads us to the only conclusion that the Tribunal has failed to perform its duty and in accordance with law. - Matter remanded back - Appeal restored before the tribunal.
