2018 (1) TMI 994 - HC - Service TaxRefund of unutilized CENVAT credit - circular dated 23-8-2007 - case of Revenue is that in view of the circular as well as provisions of law, the assessee cannot be permitted to reverse the entries and in fact should have applied for refund of the amount due to him - Held that: - somewhat similar controversy came up before the Gujarat High Court in case of S. Subrahmanyan & Co. v. Commissioner [2011 (3) TMI 396 - CESTAT, AHMEDABAD], where it was held that Correction not requiring any lis between the parties.technical view that even in such cases where admitted wrong entries are made and are rectified immediately thereafter, an assessee is required to file refund application is to shake the assessee’s faith in the judicial system. There is no error committed by the Tribunal while holding that the amount which has already been paid in cash to satisfy the demand of the revenue with respect to the service tax on GTA is fulfilled, there was no question of not reversing the amount paid from their CENVAT credit account - Further, the circular is dated 23-8-2007 and the period in question is March, 2006 to March, 2007, therefore the Tribunal was right in holding that the circular dated 23-8-2007 is having no application. The amount paid from CENVAT credit account was required to be reversed - appeal dismissed - decided against Revenue.
