Now the Department has filed this Revision Application under Section 35EE of the Central Excise Act, 1944 before the Central Government on grounds mentioned in para 4 above. Held that:- the present application has been filed within a period of three months from the relevant date even though it was sent to the wrong address due to the misdirection of the Appellate Commissioner and Committee of Commissioners. If the application had not been wrongly addressed, it would have reached the Revision Application Unit at the correct address well within time as it reached the address to which it was sent as per the postal authorities. - Government holds that the revision application has been filed within time under Section 35EE of the Central Excise Act, 1944 and question of being hit by limitation does not arise. Government observes that under Section 35 EE of the Central Excise Act, 1944, a Revision Application against the Order of Commissioner (Appeals) passed under Section 35 A ibid lies with Government only if such orders relate to cases as mentioned in the proviso to sub-section (1) of Section 35(B) of the Act. As the issue covered in this Revision Application relates to refund of unutilized credit under Rule 5 of Cenvat Credit Rules 2004, the subject matter is not covered in the first proviso to sub-section (1) of Section 35 B of the Central Excise Act 1944. Therefore, Revision Application on this issue does not lie before Central Government under Section 35 EE of the Central Excise Act, 1944. Further, Government observes that the Department as in the authorization to file Revision Application under Section 35EE (2) has erred in considering the issue as a case of rebate of duty. - Revision application dismissed - Decided against the revenue.
