..... Ltd., [2013 (10) TMI 145 - BOMBAY HIGH COURT]. The Ld. Commissioner also held that the demand is time barred as the show cause notice was issued beyond one year of the removal of the goods. I find that the Commissioner (Appeals) observed that the goods were cleared under CT-3 which was issued by the department. In the present case, the 100% EOU is located within the same premises and falling under the same jurisdiction of the Central Excise, Pune.

..... ourt in the case of Commissioner of C. Ex. Bangalore-II Vs. Solectron Centum Electronics Ltd. 2014 (309) E.L.T. 479 (Kar.) distinguished the Larger Bench judgment on the ground that the issue involved in the Larger Bench was on the removal of input as such and not on the used capital goods, therefore the Larger Bench decision in the case of Lakshmi Automatic Loom Works Ltd.(supra) is not applicable. He alternatively submits that during the relevant period the reversal of cenvat credit was provided only in respect of the capital goods removed as such and there was no provision for reversal.

..... ommissioner (Appeals) allowed the appeal of the respondent on the ground that 100% EOU is eligible for the cenvat credit if all the cenvat credit is reversed by the respondent. I find that this finding of the Ld. Commissioner is also based on the judgment cited by the Ld. Counsel in the case of Sandoz Pvt. Ltd., Sun Pharmaceuticals Indus. Ltd. and Synpol Products Ltd. (supra). The Ld. Commissioner also held that the demand is time barred as the show cause notice was issued beyond one year of the removal of the goods. I find that the Commissioner (Appeals) observed that the goods were cleared under CT-3 which was issued by the department. In the present case, the 100% EOU is located within the same premises and falling under the same jurisdi .....
