..... and more particularly the explanation clause to said Rule, it is obvious that when the original authority passes more than one order on account of more than one show cause notices issued to the assessee, in that case, aggrieved party filing the appeal against such orders has to file as many memorandum of appeals as the number of orders-in-original passed by the original authority. Even though such orders are disposed of by the Commissioner (Appeals) by one single order, further appeals will also be governed by explanation to Rule 6A and being so, it will be necessary for the appellant to file two different appeals, in the case in hand, bearing in mind the fact that original authority has disposed of two show cause notices by two orders.

Sundaram Auto Components Ltd. - 2015 (325) ELT 104 (Mad.) the Hon'ble Madras High Court has further observed as under:- "6. The above issue has already been answered by the Supreme Court in International Auto Ltd. v. Commissioner [2005 (183) E.L.T. 239 (S.C.)]. A Bench of this scour has also held in Commissioner of Central Excise, Puducherry v. Kohinoor Printers Pvt. Ltd.

..... b worker. The original authority and the appellate authority wrongly construed the same as a double benefit by applying the theory of unjust enrichment. This is what was rectified by the Tribunal. Hence, the order of the Tribunal is in accordance with law. Therefore, the question of law is answered in favour of the assessee. The appeal is dismissed. No costs." Further we find that in the case of Pearl Polymers Ltd. Vs. CCE, Gurgaon - 2016 (342) ELT 600 (Tri.- Chan.) this Tribunal considered the issue and held that Cenvat Credit cannot be denied to the assessee.
