Ratio decidendi
The rule this decision rests on
The impugned appellate order is set aside where the Commissioner (Appeals) considered only one of the appellant's grounds and granted relief on that ground without addressing the remaining grounds raised in the reply to the show cause notice and in the appeal; an appellate authority must consider all grounds pressed by the appellant and pass a speaking order thereon, after affording the appellant a reasonable opportunity of being heard, and the matter is accordingly remanded for that purpose.

FINAL ORDER NO.50455/2015
Per Ashok Jindal :
Today when the matter was called, learned Counsel for the appellant submits that while considering the appeal filed by the appellant before the Commissioner (Appeals), he has not considered all the grounds which they have taken in reply to the show cause notice as well as before the Commissioner (Appeals). Therefore, the impugned order is required to be set aside and the matter is required to be remanded to the Commissioner (Appeals) to pass a speaking order considering all the grounds taken by the appellant.
4. Heard the parties and considered the submissions.
5. On perusal of the records, I find that the Commissioner (Appeals) have considered only one ground and on that ground he has granted the benefit to that appellant and rest grounds he has not taken into account adduced by the appellant. In these circumstances, the impugned order is not correct for not considering other grounds of the appellant. Therefore, the impugned order is set aside with the direction to the Commissioner (Appeals) to consider all the remaining grounds of the appellant and thereafter pass a speaking order in accordance with law after affording a reasonable opportunity to the appellant to present their case.
6. The appeal is disposed of by way of remand.
