Gaikwad, Advocate for the appellant Shri S.J. Sahu, AC (AR) for the respondent ORDER Per: Raju These appeals have been filed by Sahakar Shiromani Vasantrao Kale SSK Ltd. 2. Ld. Counsel for the appellants argued that reversal of cenvat credit has been sought invoking Rule 6 of the Cenvat Credit Rules in respect of Pressmud, Bagasse and Compost cleared by them. He pointed out that all these products are waste and refuse of the process of manufacture of finished goods. Ld. Counsel for the appellants relied on the decision of the Tribunal in the case of Shivratna Udyog Ltd. Ors. vide Order no.A/89563-89568/17/SMB dated 04. .....

If legislator has intention even to apply Rule 6(3) on waste or by-product, refuse then either this para should have been amended or omitted. Since this clarification is still in force the Cenvat credit either by way of Rule 6(3) or otherwise cannot be denied. As per my above discussion, I am of the considered view that in case of removal of waste or by-product Rule 6(3) has no application. Accordingly, the impugned orders are set aside. The appeals are allowed. 5. Relying on the said order, appeals are al ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X
