Clandestine removal - evasion of duty - clearance of branded Khaini - burden to prove on Revenue - Ultimately, the High court concurred with the majority view of the CESTAT, which had found the evidence against the respondents unreliable and insufficient to establish the charge of clandestine removal. The appeals filed by the Revenue were dismissed on the grounds that the allegations could not be substantiated beyond reasonable doubt, underscoring the need for tangible evidence to support claims of tax evasion and clandestine operations.
