Refund claim - rejection of claim on the ground of nondisclosure of availment of Cenvat Credit in ST-3 Returns - the mistake committed by the appellant is merely a procedural lapse which they tried to rectify immediately thereafter but were not permitted and substantial relief was denied to them, which is not permissible in law. Admittedly the ST-3 Returns manually filed by the Appellants were not verified as the same were not accepted by the authority below - the justice demands that the impugned order be set aside and the matter be remanded to the Original Authority for deciding the issued afresh after verification of ST-3 returns filed by the appellant manually. - AT
