CESTAT held that the appellant's refund claims following provisional assessment finalization were barred by unjust enrichment doctrine. While the appellant demonstrated they bore the duty burden and did not pass it to dealers through credit notes and CA certificates, they failed to establish that dealers did not subsequently transfer this burden to ultimate motorcycle consumers.
