The appellant filed reply to the show-cause notices claiming that the said goods are in fact used as packing material and hence company was eligible for the credit of duty paid on the said goods. Thereafter the Assistant Commissioner passed orders-in-original denying the credit and ordered for recovery of the same along with interest and also imposed penalty.

Here it is relevant to reproduce the observation of the learned Commissioner (A) in para 8 and 9 of his finding which is reproduced here: 8.

As regards the credit availed on Portable Cryogenic Vessels, I find that the said Vessels are used for supply/ transportation of gases in liquid form and not for packing.

Hence, they cannot be considered as inputs as argued by the Appellants .....
