1. In this appeal the Revenue has questioned the validity of the impugned order of the Commissioner (Appeals) vide which he has reduced the duty and set aside the penalty.2. The learned SDR has contended that the Director of the respondents' company, in his statement had conceded the nonaccountal of excess goods as well as shortage of the raw material and that the respondent even debited the entire duty amount before the issuance of the show cause notice, therefore, the duty amount could not be reduced by the Commissioner (Appeals) by observing that the excess goods were manufactured out of the material found short.

1. The appellants are manufacturers of aerated waters and beverage syrups falling respectively under Chapters 22 and 21 of the CETA Schedule. In terms of Notification No. 21/99-C.E. (N.T.), dated 28-2-99, the appellants were entitled to take credit of Special Excise Duty specified in the Second Schedule to the CETA. This Notification was amended on 1-3-2000 and, consequently, Mod-vat credit of Special Excise Duty could be taken only on certain specified goods w.e.f. the said date. Goods falling under Chapter 21 were not so specified. As the appellants continued to take Modvat credit of Special Excise Duty on their inputs falling under Chapter 21 in March, 2000, the department by show cause notice proposed to disallow the credit. The proposal was contested. The original authority upheld the department's stand and disallowed to the party Modvat credit of Rs. 3,60,967/- taken in respect of their input "Concentrate" on the basis of two invoices, one dated 28-2-2000 and the other dated 12-...

In the course of those proceedings an application under Order XII Rule 6 of the Code of Civil Procedure came to be filed by the Plaintiff. While that application was being adjudicated upon, Nova India Ltd. filed an application under Order I Rule 10 of the CPC seeking impleadment in the said suit. It was alleged that payments were made by Demand Drafts but because of the intrinsic nature of this mode of tender, it cannot be implied that the landlady was aware, or should be held to be aware, that the rent was being paid by Nova India Limited. It is also well established that payment of rent, per se, does not evidence the existence of a tenant/landlord relationship.
