Unfortunate litigation - held that:- Unfortunately, the persons who took a decision to file an appeal, before this Court are wasting the precious time of the trust which could have been used in the social service. Public money and the time of this Court is also wasted. This attitude on the part of the department cannot be countenanced. Therefore, we feel it appropriate to impose cost incurred by the assessee for fighting litigation so that the department would be more careful in future in taking decision to file appeal in such frivolous cases by ignoring the policy of the Government, viz., National Litigation Policy, 2011. - Cost of Rs. 1,00,000/- - Department to deposit the amount in favour of the Rural Project Fund of the assessee-trust.

In this case, as already observed, there is no evidence to show that the capital goods have been destroyed or removed. When the capital goods have not been destroyed/removed and are in the factory and are in use, CENVAT Credit taken cannot be demanded. In this case, it is not because of non-use of capital goods that the CENVAT Credit that is being demanded but due to the fact of insurance claim amount received by the appellant. Treating it as cum duty amount, duty has been demanded. In this case, the demand has been made under Rule 14 of CENVAT Credit Rules, 2004. The first element that has to be shown for such demand is the fact that the CENVAT Credit has been taken and input/capital goods have not been used in accordance with the rules. - Decided in favour of assessee.
