Murthy, Member (T) Ms. M.I.J. Micheal, Jt. CDR, for the Appellant. Shri Mukund Chouhan , CA , for the Respondent. [Order]. - Eleven appeals filed by the Revenue involve two issues.

From perusal of the above, it is clear that the letter of undertaking in the form UT-1 is to be used by the manufacturer-exporter for the export of all excisable goods. 5.4 In this connection I also refer Section 2(d) of the Central Excise Act, 1944 which reads as under: "(d) "excisable goods" means goods specified in the First Schedule and the S .....
