After processing the said imported goods, they sent back Gamma Acid on their sales invoices. The case of the department is that since the Beta Napthol was cleared under DEEC and Target Plus Scheme under Notification No. 93/2004-Customs dated 10.09.2004 and Notification No. 32/2005-Customs dated 08.04.2005, as per the said notifications there is a condition that the license under Advance Authorization Scheme/ certificate under Target Plus Scheme and goods imported .....

He further submits that the same transaction was held as job work by the Commissioner (Appeals) in their own case vide order dated 21.09.2011 and the said order was accepted by the Revenue, therefore, the nature of the transaction as job-work has been endorsed by the department. He further submits that in the appellant's own case under the same nature of transaction where the job-worker has cleared the job-work goods on payment of duty, the Hon'ble Tribunal in the case reported as M/s.
