Issues Involved: Application for Rectification of Mistake in Final Order
Details of the Judgment: The proceeding was for disposing an Application for Rectification of Mistake in Final Order Nos. 119-120/2012-SM dated 30-1-2012 disposing Appeals 25 & 26/2010-SM. The appeals were heard on 30-1-2012, and the order was pronounced rejecting the appeals filed by Revenue. However, a mistake occurred in issuing the final order as it did not align with the facts of the case. The mistake in the order was due to the Personal Secretary modifying the dictation given in other cases to the facts of this case. This error resulted in an order that did not make sense with reference to the facts in Appeal Nos. E-25 & 26/2012. The order required rectification due to being a result of human error and not reflecting the actual case details. The corrections made to the earlier order included substituting details in the preamble and the text of the order to accurately reflect the appeals filed by Revenue against the Respondents for availing Cenvat credit of service tax paid on specific services. The issue revolved around whether certain services utilized by the Respondents outside the factory could be considered as "input services" under the Cenvat Credit Rules, 2004. The Commissioner (Appeals) rejected the appeals filed by Revenue based on previous Tribunal decisions that supported the Respondents' position. Revenue challenged these decisions, arguing that the exact nature and place of use of the services were not considered. However, the Tribunal found that the issues raised by Revenue had already been addressed in previous decisions, and since they were decided against Revenue, the appeals were rejected.
