Supply of goods to M/s Bharat Earth Movers Ltd under claim of exemption - N/N. 63/95-CE dated 16.03.1995 - Revenue entertained a view that since the appellant was not one of the units specified in terms of the said N/N. 63/95-CE dated 16.03.1995, the benefit of the Notification, which exempted goods supplied to the Ministry of Defence, cannot be extended to them - Held that: - the issue in the present case is squarely covered by the decision of this Tribunal in the appellant’s own case in Macas Brakes Automotive Pvt Ltd.

The Tribunal emphasized the precedence of its decision over the Revenue's argument, citing a case where the Tribunal's decision favoring the assessee was confirmed by the Supreme Court. Consequently, the impugned order was set aside, and the appeal was allowed with consequential relief for the appellant.In conclusion, the Tribunal held that the impugned order was not sustainable and set it aside, ultimately allowing the appeal filed by the appellant. The operative part of the decision was pronounced in court, bringing the matter to a favorable conclusion for the appellant.
