Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Mumbai

Decided on: Jul-20-1998

Reported in: (1999)(80)LC617Tri(Mum.)bai

1. The issue for determination in this appeal filed by the Revenue is whether the principle of unjust enrichment is applicable in the case of goods captively consumed.2. We find that in case of Solar Pesticides v. Union of India the Hon'ble Bombay High Court has held that the doctrine of unjust enrichment will not apply in the case of goods captively consumed by the assessees. Although the Ld. D.R. brings to our attention that the Division Bench of the Hon'ble Madras High Court has taken contrary view in the case of CC and Ors. V. Indo Swiss Synthetic Gem Manufacturing Company Ltd. and Ors. reported in 1992 (13) RLT 379 (Mad), since the Tribunal has already followed the decision of the Bombay High Court in the case of Solar Pesticides v. U.O.I. (supra) we take the same view in this case also and hold that the doctrine of unjust enrichment is not applicable in the present situation covered by these two appeals. Accordingly we uphold the impugned order and reject the Revenue's appeal....
