..... at length by both the sides and perused the records. 6. The issue to be decided is whether the appellant has correctly availed or not the CENVAT Credit of Rs.96,34,466/- during the period 01.11.2008 to 07.10.2009, based upon the refund claim which was filed by them. 7.

Further verification of the records would also show that appellant had cleared the goods under Central Excise seal for export. In the examination report in respect of two sample consignments, it has been certified by the Central Excise Officers - further verified that benefit of cenvat credit under Cenvat Credit Rules, 2002 has been availed .

Further, it is also to be noted t .....

..... the appellant is eligible for refund of the amount of CENVAT Credit paid on the inputs which are consumed in the manufacture of finished goods which are exported. On perusal of Paragraph 11 of our order as reproduced hereinabove, we find that the ld.Counsel was correct in stating that we had sent the matter back only for limited question of verifying the documents and also finalizing the quantum of refund due to the appellant in the said refund claim. 9. In our considered view, the impugned order dwelling on the eligibility of CENVAT Credit of the duty paid on the inputs is clearly beyond our order, which as informed, as on date is not stayed by any higher judicial forum. 10.
