Issues: Whether Modvat credit could be sustained when the documents and source of inputs were alleged to be fake or unsupported by proper enquiry, and whether the matter required remand for a fresh decision after confrontation of the material.
Analysis: The record showed that neither the adjudication order nor the appellate order satisfactorily disclosed the nature and extent of the enquiry, the evidence gathered, or the manner in which such material was tested against the assessee. Where the allegation is that credit was taken on forged or non-existent documents and that the supplier had no existence, the decision must rest on a proper evidentiary chain and a reasoned, self-speaking order so that the affected party has a fair opportunity to meet the case. The principle that fraud vitiates all acts was relied upon to indicate that credit cannot be claimed on documents that are shown to be non est, but the existing orders did not adequately establish the factual foundation for such a conclusion.
Conclusion: The impugned order was set aside and the matter was remanded to the adjudicating authority for fresh consideration after giving the respondent an opportunity to rebut the material.
Final Conclusion: The dispute was not finally resolved on the merits of the Modvat entitlement, and a fresh adjudication was directed on the basis of proper enquiry and due process.
