Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: Jun-06-2003

Reported in: (2003)(157)ELT554TriDel

1. This ROM application has been moved by the Revenue seeking rectification of the mistake in the impugned final order of the Tribunal dated 16-9-2002 vide which the appeal of the appellants (respondents in this application) was accepted.2. The mistake pointed out in the application, by the Revenue is that the payment of duty by the respondents from the Modvat credit could not be treated as a valid payment for the purpose of discharge of duty under Section 3A of the Act for the disputed period 1-4-98 to 31-3-2002, for setting aside in the order-in-original of the Commissioner.
