..... tc. Under the circumstances, the view taken by the Commissioner is correct. Similarly, we find that no case has been made by the Revenue that the respondent has used the machine exclusively for the manufacture of exempted goods. The respondent was manufacturing the goods on job work basis, which were not exempt but were dutiable and duty was paid by their customer. In any case, we find that the said machines were removed from their Aurangabad plant on reversal of the entire amount of the cenvat credit taken on the capital goods and in view of the fact that the entire amount of cenvat credit was reversed only later on, nothing survives in the matter - Decided against Revenue. - APPEAL No. E/2472/05-Mum - Final Order No. A/3195/2015-WZB/SMB .....
