..... t-aside the operative part of the order. There is a distinction between an order and the grounds on which it is based. The challenge to the grounds on which it is passed or the basis on which it is founded is to that end.

..... thority observing that the order had taken into account the relevant facts such as common control, financial flow back in absence of manufacturing facilities at the associate concern M/s Chirag Packaging Machines (Pvt.) Ltd. (CPMPL), common employees and office between the two entities and the rent free space given to the Company and that it has been established that two units are to be clubbed by considering their entitlement to the benefit of the Notification. It is also held that the adjudicating authority had established that the name 'Chirag' did not belong to the assessee but actually belonged to others. 7.

It would then require an appeal on certain aspects pertaining to the order to be filed before the Supreme Court and in respect of other aspects before other Courts. This was not the intention of the legislature. 13. Mrs. Suri relied upon a Division Bench judgment of the Bombay High Court in Commissioner of Central Excise Vs.
