On pointed out by the department that the said capital goods was exclusively used for manufacture of job work goods i.e without payment of duty, therefore the appellant reversed the credit alongwith interest on 26-2-2005.

In this regard he placed reliance on the following judgments: (a) Commissioner of C.E., C.E., S.T. Bangalore Vs. Stumpp, Scheule Somap 114 P. Ltd.- 2015(319)ELT 146 (Tri.-Bang.)

Commissioner of C. Ex. (Appeals), Mumbai-I[2008(229) ELT (Tri. LB)]. 5. I have carefully considered the submissions made by both sides and perused the record. 6.

I therefore pass the following order as under: From the above facts that appellant have declared their suo moto recredit in their ER1 return and in the Cenvat account and also disclosed the fact before jurisdictional Asstt. Commissioner. The fact of suo moto re-credit was very much in the knowledge of the department. The show cause notice was issued after normal period of one year i.e. on 26-2-2008. As per the facts elaborated above there is no suppression of facts for taking suo moto credit by the appellant, hence demand is clearly time bar. I am therefore not going into merit of the case, whether suo moto credit is right or wrong but the demand is hit by limita ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X
