The operative portion of the impugned order has set aside a part of the order dated 31.10.2013, passed by the Assistant Commissioner, Hyderabad-IV Commissionerate, to the extent the primary order granted refund of Rs. 4,36,987/- and directed its recovery along with interest as applicable. 3. The impugned order is the culmination of a series of irrelevant and incompetent proceedings. We now advert to the chronology of events leading to the impugned order. 4. For the period covering July 2007 to September 2007; October 2007 to December 2007 and January 2008 to March 2008, the appellant claimed refund of unutilized credit of input services, in all amounting to Rs. 39,25,141/-.

This authority went on to pass an order No. 255/2013 dated 31.10.2013 and wholly oblivious of the appellate order, the Assistant Commissioner analysed the earlier primary adjudication order dated 24.2.2009, the order of the appellate Commissioner dated 20.5.2009 and again went into the question whether the appellant was entitled to refund of unutilized input service credit in respect of various components of input services; and eventually concluded that of the total amount of Rs. 39,25,141/- claimed by the appellant, it was entitled to refund of only Rs. 33,87,922/- but not for Rs. 5,38,219/-. 9.

Pursuant to the Review Order dated 4.2.2013, the impugned order dated 26.03.2014 was passed. The Assistant Commissioner's order dated 31.10.2013 is set aside to the extent refund claim is sanctioned to the extent of Rs. 4,36,987/-; since the amount sanctioned by order dated 31.10.2013 was withdrawn by the assessee, the impugned order directed recovery of Rs. 4,36,987/- along with interest under Section 73 of the Finance Act, 1994. 13.

By virtue of the order of this Tribunal dated 19.5.2014 in ST/779/2009, it now transpires that the earlier order of the appellate Commissioner dated 20.5.2009 has ceased to exist and the matter stands remanded to the adjudicating authority for fresh determination in the light of the observations of the Tribunal, excerpted above. 15.
