Analysis: 1. The Appellate Tribunal, Chennai, considered the denial of CENVAT credit due to documents being in the name of the head office. The Commissioner (Appeals) noted the absence of proof that the service was performed in the assessee's unit. The Tribunal observed that although the assessee provided certificates indicating the services were related to the unit under consideration, these documents were not evaluated by the lower authorities.

The Tribunal directed that fresh orders be issued after granting the appellants a reasonable opportunity to present their defense.
2. The Tribunal concluded that the appeal should be allowed by remand. This decision was made after considering the arguments presented by both sides and waiving the predeposit of duty and penalty. The Tribunal proceeded with the final hearing with the consent of both parties. The judgment was dictated and pronounced in open court, signifying the conclusion of the proceedings.
