Sudhir Kumar, Member (A). 1. This Review Application has been filed seeking for a review of the order pronounced on 30.01.2014 in TA No. 1086/2009. The operative portion of the order in TA was as follows:- "22. It is, therefore, clear and apparent that the applicant does not have any substantive grievance which requires a judicial intervention or determination from this Tribunal, and actually his grievances could have been settled if the issue concerning his seniority, in respect of which he had given numerous representations, had been settled, after which he would have perhaps automatically become eligible for being counted among the 30% segment of NFSG on the basis of his seniority. Therefore, this TA is disposed of, with liberty being granted to the applicant to consolidate his grievance as raised by him with the respondents through his representations dated 07.02.2005, 31.03.2005, 15.04.2005, 30.06.2005, 06.08.2005 and 09.12.2005 into a single representation, and the Respondent No...

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Ahmedabad

Decided on: Apr-15-2014

M.V. Ravindaran, J. 1. When this stay petition was called out, I find that the issue lies in a narrow compass hence, the appeal can be disposed of finally. Accordingly, I allow the application for the waiver of pre-deposit of the amounts involved and take up the appeal itself for disposal. 2. Heard both sides and perused the records. 3. The issue involved in this case is regarding availment of CENVAT credit of service tax paid on the services received by the appellant from Rent-a-Cab services, for transportation of their employees from their residence to the place of work and vice-versa.

B.S.V. Murthy, J. 1. The appellant had provided manpower supply service to Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and the appellant did not pay service tax on the service so provided. Proceedings were initiated for demand of service tax, interest and imposition of penalty. As a result of proceedings, demand has been confirmed with interest and penalty has been imposed. 2.
