He pointed that the Order-in-Original rightly classified the said product under 3814 as solvent which is chargeable to duty. He pointed that the Commissioner (Appeals) has wrongly held that the respondents were manufacturing Turpentine oil and that the Order-in-Original goes beyond the notice. He further argued that the Commissioner (Appeals) has wrongly held that the value of Turpentine cleared by the appellants needs to be excluded while calculating the duty liability under central excise .....

There is no dispute raised by the revenue in so far as the point b) of demand is concerned. Insofar as point (a) is concerned, the impugned order holds that the value of clearance of Turpentine oil falling under 3805.19 attracting nil rate of duty needs to be excluded for the purpose of computing the demand of duty.

From the above, it is apparent that the show-cause notice alleges that the respondents are manufacturing solvent falling under 3814 and Turpentine oil falling under 3805.19. the original adjudicating authority after giving reasoning in para 27 and 28 of the order holds that the said product, described as mixture of different solvent, hydro carbon and non-hydro carbon would be appropriately classifiable under 3814 and not under 3805.19. In this background, it would not be proper to say that the original adjudicating authority has gone beyond the show-cause notice. The or ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X
