III on 28-8-1986, from the date of filing declaration. Revised declaration was filed in 22-1-1988 giving detail description of inputs by the appellant. While assessing RT12 returns and checking of documents, such as original PLA, GPS, RG23A Part I Part II, and RT12 returns by the range Superintendent it was noticed that appellant had taken credits of duty on inputs of Rs. 75,031.50 not declared by them under Modvat such as Reduction Gear/Spares Warm Gear as against declared Reduction Gear Box both falling under Chapter 84.43, an .....

Paresh Dave, Advocate, has filed written submissions on 26-2-1997. He has argued that discrepancy in inputs were noticed in 1987 and on 1-2-88 Superintendent asked to debit the credit taken, and no proceedings prior to it, show cause notice was issued on 14-2-1989 for the period 29-4-1987 to 24-12-1987. Demand is clearly time barred. On behalf of Respondent, it is submitted that, in view of 1-2-1988 letter containing the demand, there is no time bar. In the reply it is urged that 5 credits are admitted not in time. There is no change in classification. Appeal has to be allowed. 3. Points for consideration are whether (a) Sh .....

As per the relief in the appeal by department, before Collector (Appeals) under EA2, Column No. 6, original orders to be set aside, and thereby recovering Modvat credit is allowed. By Impugned order it is granted. As discussed above, it is not proper and correct. So the Impugned order cannot stand. Modvat credit disallowed confines only to Rs. 40,421.50, even if the Impugned order is upheld. In the absence of any specific relief granted in the Impugned order, as contended by appellant, no demand and confirmation arises. 5. Now, considering the case of appellant in its reply to show cause notice, written submissions, appeal memorandum and the letter dated 1-2- .....

But in the alternative it is also considered. As considered above, the review order and Impugned order does not challenge the 1st item reduction gear/spares warm gear and reduction of gear box. So the Impugned Order can retaliate to that item. In the absence of it,order-in-original has to stand in that regard under which demand is dropped and show cause notice is discharged.
