Issues:
Admissibility of Cenvat credit on duty paid on welding electrodes. Analysis: The case involved two appeals filed by M/s Triveni Engineering & Industries Ltd. and CCE, Meerut against the same Order-in-Appeal. The assessee, engaged in the manufacture of sugar and molasses, had wrongly taken Cenvat credit as capital goods on welding electrodes, leading to a Show Cause Notice demanding the credit amount along with interest and penalty. The original authority confirmed the demand and imposed a penalty, which was set aside by the Commissioner (Appeals). The main issue in the appeal was the admissibility of Cenvat credit on duty paid on welding electrodes. During the hearing, it was established that the issue of availment of Cenvat credit on welding electrodes had been settled by the Tribunal in the appellant's own case. The Tribunal referred to various judgments, including those of different High Courts, to support the admissibility of Cenvat credit on duty paid on welding electrodes. Relying on these precedents, the judge concluded that the assessee was entitled to avail Cenvat credit on duty paid on welding electrodes. Consequently, the order-in-appeal was set aside in favor of the assessee, leading to the rejection of the Revenue's appeal. In summary, the judgment resolved the issue by affirming the admissibility of Cenvat credit on welding electrodes based on established legal precedents and rulings. The decision favored the assessee, leading to the rejection of the Revenue's appeal.
