Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in stating that an appeal lies against an order made under Section 35E of the Central Excises and Salt Act, 1944, as such orders are not appealable to CEGAT under Section 35B. The Court set aside the High Court's order and remitted the matter for fresh consideration, restoring Writ Petition No. 3749 of 1995. The appeal in Civil Appeal No. 2497/1997 was dismissed as infructuous due to the outcome of the first appeal.
