M/s. Bhushan Industries Limited and another, CEC 7 of 2001 (decided August 28, 2001). Applying that binding precedent, the present petition filed by the Department under Section 35G of the Central Excise Act, 1944 was found to be without merit. Because the earlier Division Bench has decided the legal issue in favour of the assessee, there was no forum-related or substantive question left to be referred for consideration.Petition dismissed; Modvat credit held available for the specified inputs under Rule 57A in accordance with the Division Bench precedent and no referable question arises.Final Conclusion: The petition filed by the Department under Section 35G of the Central Excise Act, 1944 is dismissed as the issue of entitlement to Modvat credit for the specified inputs is governed by a prior Division Bench decision in favour of the assessee, leaving no referable question. The High Court of Punjab & Haryana at Chandigarh considered a petition filed by the Department under Section 35G of the Central Excise Act, 1944 regarding Modvat credit for certain items. The court ruled in favor of the assessee based on a previous Division Bench judgment. The petition was dismissed as no referable question arose from the Tribunal's order.
