of CESTAT adjudicated a service tax dispute involving compensation for lost drilling equipment. The tribunal held that compensation for 'Lost-in-Hole' items constitutes accidental damages not relatable to service provisions and therefore cannot be included in taxable service value. The Additional Director General's attempt to invoke extended limitation period was rejected, as there was no willful suppression or intent to evade tax. The audit records demonstrated transparency, and mere procedural oversight did not justify extended limitation. Consequently, the tribunal allowed the appeal, setting aside the tax demand for both the standard and extended periods based on the absence of fraudulent intent and improper valuation of taxable services.
