The department is correct in not allowing refund based on said circular.

However, there is a judgment of Madras High Court in favour of the party.

[KASTURI SETHI]

Yes, Sir. It is crystal clear.

Mahir sir,

May the details of the court case may be shared in this forum?

[Mahir S]

Yes Sir, I will surely share the case detail.

GovindaRajan Sir,.

I have not yet gone into full details of the case, so not aware if any further appeal was preferred or any subsequent judgement on the issue.

[KASTURI SETHI]

Sh.Mahir S, Sir has rightly posted this case law. As per EXCUS status, the department has not challenged the order of Madras High Court. The case was decided on 2.4.2019. Had the department filed an appeal with Supreme Court, EXCUS would have shown such status. Full case law is appended below :-

2019 (28) G.S.T.L. 421 (Mad.) = 2019 (5) TMI 85 - MADRAS HIGH COURT VSG EXPORTS PVT. LTD. Versus COMMISSIONER OF CUSTOMS, TUTICORIN

Sh.Mahir S Sir Credit goes to you for keeping track of case law and giving clue. You have laid the foundation for further search in the interest of querist/tax payer/trade & industry. Now let us wait for the decision of High Court for the hearing held on 20.7.20 wherein the department refused to sanction refund despite High Court order. I am referring to last case law posted yesterday.

Thank you so much Sir for the latest update and kind words..
