Issues involved: Appeal against Order-in-Revision u/s 2/ST/07 dated 27-3-2007 passed by CCE, C & ST Mysore regarding refund erroneously sanctioned to the appellant.
Summary: Issue 1: Refund erroneously sanctioned The appellant filed a refund claim for the amount paid during a specific period, which was erroneously paid under a mistaken notion of law. The Original Authority sanctioned the entire refund, but the Commissioner of Customs ordered recovery of a part of the amount on grounds of time-bar. The appellant's counsel cited various decisions supporting the refund of amounts collected by the department not authorized by law. The Tribunal, after considering the facts and legal precedents, found justification for waiver of deposit of the demanded amount and stayed the recovery proceedings pending appeal.
