..... claim is correct or not. The Commissioner (Appeals) has not examined the finding on classification given by the original adjudicating authority on the ground that the said findings are beyond the scope of show-cause notice.

..... . The original adjudicating authority has sought to classify the Turpentine oil manufactured by the respondents under 3814.00 as against the claim of 3805.19 of the respondents. The original adjudicating authority describes the product as Turpentine oil manufactured by mixing different solvent hydro carbon and non-hydro carbon for use as solvent. The show-cause notice does not segregate the value of goods cleared under different heading. The Commissioner (Appeals) has held that the show-cause notice mentions that Turpentine oil manufactured by the respondents would fall under 3805.19. A perusal of the show-cause notice shows that there is no such assertion. The only reference to various headings under which goods are manufactured appears in .....

In these circumstances, we find that the impugned order wrongly holds that the original adjudicating authority has gone beyond the scope of show-cause notice. Since the original adjudicating authority has given his reasoning for classifying the product under 3814 it was for Commissioner (Appeals) to decide if the said claim is correct or not. We find that the Commissioner (Appeals) has not examined the finding on classification given by the original adjudicating authority on the ground that the said findings are beyond the scope of show-cause notice. We find that the said assertion is not proper as the show-cause notice had indeed sought to classify certain solvents under 3 .....
