Analysis:
The judgment by the Appellate Tribunal CESTAT AHMEDABAD involved an appeal against an Order-in-Appeal passed by the Commissioner (Appeals) Central Excise & Service Tax - IV, Ahmedabad. The central issue was whether the appellant was required to pay Service Tax on the value of SIM Card from August 2002 to June 2003. The appellant argued that the issue was covered against them by a judgment of the Hon'ble Supreme Court and a previous decision of the Tribunal. The Tribunal, following the Supreme Court's judgment, decided against the appellant on merit but directed to restrict the demand for the normal period of limitation. The appellant claimed to have paid the Service Tax for the normal period but not for the extended period, seeking to set aside the demand for the extended period on grounds of limitation.
