The Deputy Collector of Central Excise has been authorised to file this appeal by the Collector of Central Excise, Bombay-I, as provided under sub-section (2) of Section 35B. The main contentions advanced by the learned representative on behalf of the appellant is that the goods under claim for rebate were not exported directly from the factory of the manufacturer as provided under sub-rule (13) of Rule 173PP.
