Department s appeal was rejected by CESTAT. It is found that CESTAT had rejected the appeal of the Department for the reason of delayed filing by dismissing the COD application. There are no material on record to show that dismissal of the application by CESTAT has been appealed against by the Department. Under the circumstances it is found that order of learned Commissioner (A) s Chennai has attained finality and it is not open for the Department to raise the same issue again and again.
