For the Appellant : Rajesh Singh Chauhan ORDER 1. Heard Sri Rajesh Singh Chauhan, learned counsel for appellant and perused the record. 2. This appeal under Section 35-G of Central Excise Act, 1944 has been filed aggrieved by judgment and order dated 15.07.2015 passed by Customs, Excise Service Tax Appellate Tribunal, New Delhi (hereafter referred to as the Tribunal ) in Excise Appeal No. E/2190-2192 of 2009. 3.
