CESTAT allowed the appeal against allegations of clandestine production and removal of sponge iron. Revenue's case relied solely on theoretical input-output ratios without corroborative evidence or independent plant study. Appellant's declared ratio (1:1.92 in 2008-09 to 1:1.87 in 2009-10) was not effectively rebutted. Revenue failed to establish clandestine removal of 11,542 MT through vehicle movements, buyer statements, or cash transaction records. The demand of Rs.1,42,845 was set aside as revenue-neutral since both units shared common balance sheet with eligible CENVAT credit. Extended period demand was time-barred absent evidence of suppression. Consequently, penalties on Managing Director were vacated.
