There is a clear error in the order. In the absence of reasons in support of the order it is difficult to assume that the authority had properly applied provision of laws before passing of the order. Since no order was passed on the above two proposal, the whole matter needs to be remanded for passing a fresh order. The learned Adjudicating Authority granting fair opportunity of hearing shall pass a reasoned and speaking order in respect of the concerned charges to hold whether sustainable or not. Such exercise shall meet the scrutiny of law. Entire matter remanded to the Ld. Adjudicating Authority for passing a de novo order within a period of six months from the date of receipt of this order - appeal disposed off by way of remand. - HON'BLE MEMBER (JUDICIAL), MR.

As the goods had been provisionally released he imposed redemption fine of Rs. 1,26,24,560/- . He imposed the penalty of Rs. 62,41,582/- on assessee and penalty of Rs. 5,00,000 on Shri Malav G. Patel under Rule 26 of the Central Excise Rules, 2002. Being aggrieved, the assessee and revenue are before this Tribunal. 2. Shri J.C. Patel learned counsel with Shri Rahul Gajera Ld.

As per grounds of appeal the appellant s submissions have not been considered by the Adjudicating authority, in this regard we reproduced the relevant grounds raised in the appeal:- 13. The impugned order passed by the appellate authority is in utter violation to the principles of natural justice, as the adjudicating authority has failed to consider the submissions made by the appellant. It was obligatory on the part of the adjudicating authority to have dealt with all the submissions made by the appellant and in case he did not agree to the same, the same should have been negated by reasoning.
