Yes, the department is right. Nofn.43/2001 CE(NT)  provides for procurement of inputs without payment of duty for use in export goods. Drawback is a scheme meant to offset incidence of input duty. Thus, when the inputs have not suffered any duty under the said notification, the question of allowing DBK does not arise. You can see that  Nofn.43/2001 CE(NT)clearly mentions that DBK should not be claimed, obviously on account of the said reasoning.
