Issues: Refund claim of Service Tax in relation to export of goods
Analysis: - The appellant filed a refund claim of Service Tax amounting to &8377; 1,72,216 in connection with input services used for the export of goods. - The adjudicating authority initially sanctioned the refund claim, but the Commissioner (Appeals) set aside this decision upon the appeal filed by the Revenue. - The Deputy Commissioner of Service Tax had rejected the refund claim in a letter dated 22-3-2010. However, the appellant resubmitted the claim on 12-5-2010, which was then approved by the adjudicating authority. - The appellant's counsel argued that the refund was sanctioned on merit and was resubmitted following Trade Notice No. 5/2010 dated 6-5-2010. - The Member (J) noted that the jurisdictional Deputy Commissioner had previously rejected the refund claim, and opined that this decision could not be revisited by the jurisdictional Assistant Commissioner of Service Tax. - Consequently, the Member (J) agreed with the Commissioner (Appeals) and upheld their decision to set aside the adjudication order, ultimately rejecting the appeal filed by the appellant.
