If Revenue has alleged that same is artificial bifurcation, it is for them to substantiate the allegation by producing the sufficient documentary evidence. As lower authorities have examined the facts, as also the work order and the fact of issuance of separate invoices along with the fact of payment of VAT on the goods sold, we find no justifiable reason to interfere in the impugned order of the authorities below.
