Subsequently, the appellant preferred refund claim for the said amount of ₹ 19,56,305/- which was adjudicated by Order-in-Original dated 31.08.2006 wherein the learned Assistant commissioner allowed the refund but credited the amount to Consumer Welfare Fund in terms of Section 11B(2) of the Central Excise Act, observing therein that on the basis of C.A. certificate, it has been certified that the appellant have received the amount from M/s Indofil. 2.1 Being aggrieved, the appellant preferred appeal before the learned Commissioner (Appeals), who vide the impugned order upheld the rejection of refund claim on the ground of unjust enrich .....

Having considered the rival contentions, I find that the language of the C.A. certificate is erroneous in view of the audited balance-sheets records examined in the course of hearing. I find that the appellant have shown more than the amount recovered from M/s Indofil under the 'head expenses' received on 31.03.2004 which has been carried forward year to year, which is evident from the balance-sheet of 31.03.2013. In this view of the matter, I hold that no unjust enrichment is applicable on claim of refund in dispute. Thus, the appeal is allowed. The adjudicating authority is directed to grant refund within a period of 45 days from receipt of a copy of this order with interest as per Rules. The appellant is also di .....
