The appellant Kaizen Organics Pvt. Ltd. was found guilty of fraudulently availing CENVAT credit and cash refund by showing fictitious manufacturing of excisable goods purportedly supplied to them by Koolmint. The Tribunal held that there was no credible evidence of actual manufacturing activity by Koolmint, and the claims of electricity consumption from DG sets lacked merit. The entire transaction appeared to be a sham to wrongfully avail duty benefits. Section 11D of the Central Excise Act was rightly invoked to recover Rs. 95,60,962 collected by Koolmint under the guise of excise duty. The extended period of limitation was correctly applied as the fraud vitiated all statutory records ab initio. The appeal was dismissed, upholding the Commissioner's order demanding duty, interest and penalties.
