Full Judgment
3. The respondents were availing the Modvat credit on the inputs namely "Light Diesel Oil' and 'Oxalic Acid' which were used in the manufacture of their final goods and as well as in the manufacture of goods on job work basis. The Department's contention was that the respondents were not entitled to the Modvat credit in view of the Board Circular No.306/22/97-CX dated 20.03.1997.
