..... y view, therefore, the refund claims are to be rejected. 5. On the other hand, the Ld. Counsel for the respondent submits that the refund claims of cenvat credit lying unutilised in their cenvat credit account for the clearances made to 100% EOUs and clearance made to mega projects is squarely covered by the decision of Hon ble High Court of Gujarat in the case of Shilpa Copper Wires (Supra) which has been affirmed by the Hon ble Apex Court in SLP No. 19717/2010 dated 06.01.2011, therefore, the refund claim of cenvat credit lying unutilised in their cenvat credit account for clearances made to 100% EOUs and mega projects are admissible. 6.

..... 4,15 and 16 it was observed thus:- 14. we have heard the learned counsel appearing for the parties and after considering their submissions, we are of the view that the issue raised by the Revenue in the present Tax Appeal is squarely covered by the decision of Amitex Silk Mills pvt. Ltd. (Supra), Commissioner of Central Excise Vs. Ginni International Ltd. and Snaghi Textiles Ltd. Vs. Commissioner of Customs and Central Excise- 2006 (206) ELT 854 (tri. Bang.) - 2006-TIOL-1805-CESTAT-Bang. So far as the decision of the Tribunal in the case of Amitex Silk Mills Pvt. Ltd.

In fact, the same can be submitted by the merchant exporter also in terms of Notification No. 42/2001-CE (NT) dated 26.06.2001. When the necessary bond has been executed by the merchant exporter of the appellant, the appellant cannot be punished for non compliance of a procedural formality given nowhere in the law. 13. We have also gone through the procedure laid down under Notification No. 5/2006 ibid. There is no condition on .....
