Ravindran; This appeal is filed by the Revenue against the Order in Appeal No. 151/2006 (Ahd-I) dated 27.07.2006. 2. The relevant facts that arises for consideration are that, the adjudicating authority had denied the benefit of transitional cenvat credit to the respondents herein, as applicable vide Notification No. 35/2003-CE (NT) dated 10.04.2003, despite there being declarations filed by the assessee before the authorities.
