Levy of service tax - Job work, Service Tax

[Virender Singh Rawat]

We are the manufacturer of automotible parts. We were getting job work onsome of our parts from outside party. Party was not charging the service tax since last two years on the job work. Now the job worker has received a noticc from excise department for levy of service tax on the total billing of last two years. Now job worker wanted to raise a bill on us for service tax amount. My question is whether we being manufacturer can take the Cenvet on service tax related to previous period(s)
