In the present case though the appellant has been vehemently arguing that they had received capital goods priot 1994 and the worn machines/parts were removed as waste and scrap, the said facts had not been verified. No doubt the onus lies on the department to establish that the waste and scrap did arise out of the capital goods on which credit availed, but, in the present case, the evidences adduced by the appellant in establishing the fact no CENVAT credit had been availed on plant and machinery, cleared as waste and scrap, needs to be verified, before con .....
