... ... ... ... ..... ce in this regard is made to Tribunal's decision in case of TGL Poshak Corpn. reported in 2002 (140) ELT 187 (Tri.-Chennai), which has discussed the entire law on the point; Sri Jayajothi & Co. Ltd. reported in 2002 (141) ELT 676 (T); Emtex Synthetics Ltd. reported in 2003 (54) RLT 526 (CEGAT-Del.) 2003 (151) ELT 170 (T). The law on the point is well settled that the charges of clandestine removal are required to be proved beyond doubt by production of sufficient and affirmative evidence and not on the basis of assumptions and presumptions. It is not understood as to why the Revenue has not conducted further verification from the buyers of the goods or the purchasers, when the details of the same were, according to them, available in said register. Having failed to conduct further investigation, Revenue can not now confirm the demand on the basis of sole entry. Accordingly, I set aside the impugned order and allow the appeal with consequential relief to the appellant.

... ... ... ... ..... re entitled for benefit of notification. In these circumstances, we find that as the applicant produced invoices as well as certificate from M/s. BEML to show that the goods manufactured by the applicants were supplied to M/s. BEML and further used in the manufacture of goods which were supplied to the Min. of Defence. Therefore, the amount already deposited is sufficient for hearing of the appeal. Pre-deposit of remaining amount of duty and penalties are waived. 3. The evidence now produced by the applicant to show that M/s. BEML manufactured the goods by using the goods supplied by the applicant and the same further supplied to the Min. of Defence was not before the lower authorities and the same requires clarification. Therefore, the impugned order is set aside and the matter is remanded to the adjudicating authority for deciding afresh after affording an opportunity of hearing to the appellant. The appeal is disposed of by way of remand. Order dictated in the open Court.

... ... ... ... ..... he Supreme Court decision in Laghu Udyog Bharati’s case (supra) amendments were carried out in terms of section 116 of the Finance Act, 2000 making recipient of the clearing and forwarding service liable for payment of service tax for the period from 16-7-1997 to 16-10-1998. The Chennai Tribunal in the cited decision supra, has exhaustively dealt with the issue and has held that the Parliament has authorised the collection only up to 16-10-1998 and the revenue cannot assume authority to collect such tax from the service recipient for any period beyond 16-10-1998. It has also held that section 117 is procedural and does not in any way alter in substantive provision brought on the statute book by section 116. Thus, in terms of law as interpreted by the CESTAT’s Chennai Bench, no service tax liability can be fastened on the recipient of the C & F agent beyond 16-10-1998. Therefore, we do not find any merit in the revenue’s appeal. Hence we reject the same.

... ... ... ... ..... the appellants cites a decision of the Tribunal in the similar case of M/s. Central Cables Ltd. vs. CCE reported in 2006 (74) RLT 767 (CESTAT-Mum.) 2006 (196) ELT 157 (T), wherein it has been held that when the final goods are supplied under Chapter X procedure, the credit is not deniable following the ratio of the Hon'ble Supreme Court's decision in the case of Escorts Ltd. vs. Commissioner of Central Excise reported in 2004 (64) RLT 227 (SC) 2004 (171) ELT 145 (SO. He also states that the decision of the Tribunal has been accepted by the Department and no further appeal has been filed against the same. As such, following the ratio of the said decision in the case of Central Cables Ltd.

... ... ... ... ..... ade regarding entitlement to abatement of duty for the period for which the factory was closed. 4. We have considered the submissions. We find that all the show cause notices and order-in-original referred to annual capacity of production as determined by the Commissioner vide his letter dated 29.09.1997. This capacity was determined on provisional basis and even after the direction of the Hon ble Bombay High Court, the matter was left open till the decision of the Hon ble Supreme Court. No final order has been passed as yet. In such a situation, confirmation of demand of duty is premature. As the capacity has to be finalized first and thereafter the question of payment of differential duty should arise. In view of this, we set aside the order of the Commissioner (Appeals) and hold that the annual capacity of production should be first determined finally and thereafter the demands, if any, should be adjudicated. The appeal is allowed in the above terms. (pronounced in court)

(2) THE learned Counsel refers to this order and prays for remand of the matter to the original authority by allowing the appeal and giving a direction to the authority to apply the ratio of this judgment. (3) THE learned JDR reiterates the departmental view. On a careful consideration, we notice that the issue involved in the appeal has been decided by the Hon'ble President by Final Order cited supra. Therefore, the dismissal of the appeal under Section 35F is not justified. The impugned order is set aside and matter remanded to the Commissioner (Appeals) for do novo consideration and to apply the ratio of the Tribunal's ruling rendered by the Final Order cited supra passed by the Hon'ble President within four months from the receipt of this order.

... ... ... ... ..... te submits that even if it is held that amortized value of such dies and moulds is added in the value of the parts, and such total value stands recovered from their customer, the same would not establish unjust enrichment on the part of the appellant in as much as refund in question relates to the original duty payment of dies and moulds, which were never cleared from their factory and the cost of which was never recovered from their customer. In as much as there was no sale of dies and moulds to M/s Ashok Leyland Ltd., the question of recovering any duty paid thereon does not arise. 4. All the above submissions made by the appellant though convincing, relates to the factual position, which needs verification by the original adjudicating authority. Accordingly, I set aside the impugned order and remand the matter to Astt. Commissioner for fresh adjudication in the light of the appellant s submission. 5. Appeal is allowed by way of remand.

... ... ... ... ..... Further more Shri T.C. Nair, Advocate for the respondents points out that Shri Amarnath is not a competent person to give any such statement since the stock register is maintained by store in-charge Shri Sanjeev Srivastav.
