Ravindran, Member (Judicial) and Hon'ble Mr. P.S. Pruthi, Member (Technical), heard the appeals against Orders-in-Original No. 3/ST/2009 and 18/ST/2009. The issue at hand concerned the taxability of the amount paid by the appellants to a Sansta providing labor for harvesting and transporting sugar cane to the sugar factory. The revenue contended that this activity falls under Manpower Recruitment and Supply Agency Services.Upon reviewing the records, the Tribunal noted that similar issues had been previously addressed by the Bench in various cases, including CCE v. Shriram S.A.O.T.V.S. Ltd., Bhogavati Janseva Trust v. CCE, Satara S.S.O.T.V.S. v. CCE, and Samarth Sevabhavi Trust v. CCE. The Tribunal also referenced the decisions of the Hon'ble High Court of Bombay in cases like Shri Samarth Sevabhavi Trust & Ors. and Godavari Khore Cane Transport Co. (P) Ltd., which implicitly supported the views expressed in the aforementioned cases.Based on the authoritative judicial pronouncements and precedents on the issue, the Tribunal concluded that the impugned orders were unsustainable. Consequently, the Tribunal set aside the orders and allowed the appeals with any consequential relief. The decision was dictated in court, bringing the matter to a favorable resolution for the appellants based on established legal interpretations and precedents.
