[Order] - This appeal, by the assessee, has been filed against the order of the tribunal dated 26.7.2005, dismissing the same, by relying upon a larger Bench judgment of the Tribunal, in Jaypee Rewa Plant Vs. CCE, reported in 2003 (159) ELT 553, and thereby upholding the disallowance of modvat/ cenvat credit. 2.

Thus, for want of evidence to show, that any part of any electrodes, and gases, was used in the manufacture of any capital goods for captive consumption, the claim was negated. 11.
