Citation of case law, Service Tax

[KASTURI SETHI]

Dear all Experts,

I want citation of a case law. There is CESTAT judgement wherein it has been held that, "Non-imposition of penalty is no revenue loss." This pertains to the year 2012 or 2013. I do not recollect party's name or which CESTAT. I have read it on Taxindiaonline. This judgement may pertain to Central Excise or Service Tax.

Can any expert help me in tracing out this judgement ? Thanks.

M/S.YAGAY AND SUN,

Sirs, Thanks a lot for devoting your precious time and making efforts for me. Essence of the judgement is same but I want exact language, ""Non-imposition of penalty is no revenue loss." I have read this sentence in a judgement of CESTAT and want to quote the same in a case listed for personal hearing in this month.

With regards,

Dear Sethi Sir,

Hope this is already sorted out, when I was studying this and going through various replies I came to know this case,

Sir I know one work which may be help full which is :" REVENUE NEUTRAL ".

Hope this will help.

thanks

Dear Sir,

I do not agree. The term. "Revenue neutral" is not proper here. I cannot digest. Actually case-law is very helpful and not interpretation. Still I could not trace out.
