Lit is seen from the show cause notices('SCN')issued to the Appellants that the subject matter concerned availing of exemption as SSI units under the Notification No.8/2003. The case ofthe Department on the other hand has been that the Appellants are not entitled to such exemption. This would be a matter concerning the rate of duty of excise and therefore outside the ambit ofSection 35 G ofthe Central Excise Act, 1944(CE Act).The appeal would be maintainable, if at all, only before the Supreme Court of India under Section 35 L ofthe CE Act.
