Issues:
1. Appeal against final order passed by Customs, Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal. 2. Substantial questions of law admitted for appeal. Analysis: The judgment involves an appeal by the Revenue against the final order of the Customs, Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal. The appeal was admitted based on substantial questions of law raised by the Revenue. The questions of law included issues related to the Tribunal's correctness in following previous orders without appreciating the facts of the case, the assumption made by the Tribunal regarding the eligibility of the respondents for CENVAT credit, and the justification of the Tribunal in ignoring the law regarding the utilization of lapsed CENVAT credit. Additionally, the Tribunal's decision in overlooking specific provisions of the CENVAT Credit Rules, 2004 was also questioned. The Senior Standing Counsel for the appellant presented a communication from the Assistant Commissioner (Legal) seeking permission to withdraw the appeal due to a monetary limit issue. The communication highlighted that the appeal amount was lesser than the threshold set by a Board's circular dated 11.7.2018. Consequently, the civil miscellaneous appeal was dismissed as withdrawn, and the substantial questions of law raised in the appeal were left open for future consideration. No costs were awarded in this regard. The judgment, therefore, concludes with the dismissal of the appeal based on the communicated monetary limit issue and the subsequent withdrawal request made by the appellant.
