Refund of export duty paid in excess - conclusive evidence to discharge the burden of unjust enrichment - The CESTAT observed that the contract between the buyer and seller explicitly stated that all Indian taxes on cargo would be borne by the seller. - The Tribunal emphasized that invoices serve as primary evidence of whether the duty burden has been passed on.
