Refund of service tax paid - entitlement for Cenvat credit of the service tax paid on the ocean freight on the reverse charge mechanism - rejection of refund on the ground that since the amount of service tax was paid on insistence of the audit party, there is suppression of fact - The Tribunal ruled that the allegation of suppression of fact was based on assumptions and presumptions, as there was no adjudication in a demand case.
