Issues:
Appeal against findings of Ld. Commissioner (Appeals) regarding contravention of Rule 3 (5B) of Cenvat Credit Rules, 2004 by failing to reverse credit on inputs. Analysis: The appellant approached the forum aggrieved by the Ld. Commissioner (Appeals) findings, which confirmed the show cause notice's proposals regarding contravention of Rule 3 (5B) of Cenvat Credit Rules, 2004. The Ld. Adjudicating authority's order upheld the show cause notice, leading to the appellant's appeal. The Ld. Commissioner (Appeals) dismissed the appeal, noting the appellant's failure to provide documentary evidence proving the reversal of credit as claimed. The appellant, through their counsel, expressed possession of relevant documents and requested an opportunity to produce audited books reflecting the credit reversal. The Ld.A.R for the Revenue argued that the appellant must provide all necessary documents showing proper reversal to satisfy the adjudicating authority. Upon hearing the submissions, the Judicial Member decided that justice necessitates a remand of the matter. The case was remanded to the original authority for a fresh adjudication order, with the appellant given an opportunity to present all relevant documents proving the reversal of credit. The Judicial Member emphasized the appellant's obligation to furnish necessary documents without unnecessary adjournments to establish their bonafides. The appeal was remanded to the original authority under specified terms to ensure a fair adjudication process.
