Issues:
1. Whether the conclusion of the impugned order by the Appellate Tribunal regarding the receipt of goods covered by the invoices is sustainable in lawRs.
2. Whether the Appellate Tribunal was justified in holding that Cenvat credit on the invoices issued by the dealers is not available despite the receipt of scrap by the appellantsRs.
3. Whether the Appellate Tribunal correctly invoked the extended period of limitation when the appellants took credit in good faith and paid excise duty to the dealerRs.

Analysis:

1. The High Court, after considering arguments from both parties, found that the appeal raised substantial questions of law. The Tribunal's approach in considering the matter was questioned, especially regarding the matching of scrap descriptions in invoices and actual goods received. The Court admitted the appeal based on the substantial question of law related to whether the goods covered by the invoices were actually received by the appellants.

2. The Court raised a second substantial question of law concerning the availability of Cenvat credit on invoices issued by dealers, despite the receipt of scrap by the appellants in their factory. The Tribunal's decision on this matter was brought into question, indicating a discrepancy in the Tribunal's findings and the actual receipt of goods by the appellants.

3. The third substantial question of law involved the correctness of the Appellate Tribunal's decision to invoke the extended period of limitation. This question arose from the appellants taking credit in good faith and paying excise duty to the dealer. The Tribunal's decision to invoke the extended period of limitation was challenged, questioning the justification for such action in the given circumstances.

In conclusion, the High Court admitted the appeal based on the substantial questions of law raised regarding the receipt of goods covered by invoices, the availability of Cenvat credit despite receiving scrap, and the correctness of invoking the extended period of limitation. The Court directed the Registrar to ensure the original record is summoned for inspection and further proceedings.
