Vivekananda, SDR, for the Appellant. Shri Anil Kumar B., Advocate, for the Respondent. [Order]. - M/s Chamundi Textiles (Silk Mills) Ltd., (Assessee for short) is a 100% EOU engaged in the manufacture of export of silk and allied fabrics.

It was submitted by the learned advocate that in all these cases invoices were raised at Head Office but the activities related to Mysore factory only. In fact in the appeal filed by the revenue, there is no indication or explanation as to which are the services which invoices in respect of such credit or not admissible, A quick perusal of the invoices shows that these relate to various services relating to export of services and therefore in the absence of specific evidence to show that credit is not admissible the revenue's appeal on this issue cannot be allowed. 10.
