The Appellate Tribunal CESTAT AHMEDABAD ruled that the appellant is not required to pay under Rule 6 of Cenvat Credit Rules for the clearance of "Bagasse" in the sugar manufacturing process. Citing legal precedents, including a Supreme Court judgment and an Allahabad High Court decision, the Tribunal found that Rule 6 does not apply to Bagasse generation.

Issues involved: Whether the appellant is required to pay an amount under Rule 6 of Cenvat Credit Rules on the clearance of "Bagasse" generated during the course of manufacture of Sugar.
Analysis:
The judgment by the Appellate Tribunal CESTAT AHMEDABAD, delivered by Mr. Ramesh Nair, Member (Judicial), revolves around the issue of whether the appellant is obligated to pay an amount under Rule 6 of Cenvat Credit Rules concerning the clearance of "Bagasse" produced during the manufacturing process of sugar. In the absence of representation from the appellant, the Tribunal proceeded with the case. The Learned Superintendent (Authorized Representative) for the Respondent reiterated the findings of the impugned order during the hearing.
Upon careful consideration of the submissions and perusal of records, the Tribunal referred to the legal precedents, notably the Hon'ble Supreme Court judgment in the case of UOI and Ors vs. M/s DSCL Sugar Ltd 2015-TIOL-240-SC-CX. Additionally, the Tribunal highlighted the judgment of the Allahabad High Court in the case of M/s Balrampur Chini Mills Ltd -2019 (5) TMI 972, which invalidated a circular dated 25.04.2016. Based on these legal positions, it was established that Rule 6 of Cenvat Credit Rules, 2004 does not apply to the generation and clearance of Bagasse in the sugar manufacturing process.
Consequently, the Tribunal concluded that the demand made in the present case was not sustainable in light of the settled legal position established by the aforementioned judgments. Therefore, the impugned order was set aside, and the appeal was allowed. The judgment was dictated and pronounced in the open court, bringing closure to the matter.
