of <h1>Appellant wins tax credit appeal due to lack of thorough evidence review.</h1> <h3>Alpine Apparels (P.) Ltd. Versus Commissioner of Central Excise, Delhi-IV</h3> Alpine Apparels (P.) Ltd. Versus Commissioner of Central Excise, Delhi-IV - [2012] 36 STT 364 (NEWDELHI - CESTAT) Issues:- Denial of credit for tax paid on courier services used for dispatching samples abroad- Failure to correlate courier service invoices with export of goods- Evidence presented by the appellant to prove dispatch of consignment through courier- Lack of consideration of evidence by the Appellate AuthorityAnalysis:The judgment revolves around the denial of credit related to tax paid on courier services used for dispatching samples abroad. The appellant argued that the courier service was connected with export, and the relevancy of this connection was not in doubt. The appellant contended that the evidence presented, including certificates from the courier agency and details of consignments to different countries, clearly proved the dispatch of consignments through courier for delivery abroad. The appellant highlighted a previous order where a similar refund was granted for consignments sent through couriers, supporting their claim.The Appellate Authority, however, failed to consider the evidence on record thoroughly. The Judicial Member noted that the evidence, including certificates from the courier agency and specific invoice details, was not properly evaluated by the authority. It was emphasized that if the authority had doubts about the presented certificates, an inquiry with the courier agency could have been made for further clarification. The Judicial Member found that the evidence submitted did not discredit the genuineness of the appellant's claim, leading to the decision in favor of the appellant.In conclusion, the judgment highlighted the importance of thoroughly evaluating evidence presented in tax-related matters. The failure of the Appellate Authority to consider the evidence led to the decision in favor of the appellant, allowing the appeal and setting aside the impugned order. The judgment underscored the need for authorities to conduct proper inquiries and assessments when dealing with claims related to tax credits and refunds, especially when relevant evidence is provided by the appellant.
