Denial of transitional credit could not be sustained where the appellate authority ignored material documentary evidence placed by the claimant, including a certificate and receipt evidencing payment of service tax into the Government treasury. That non-consideration amounted to clear non-application of mind and rendered the appellate order unsustainable; the original order, which rested on the same foundation, also failed. The HC therefore quashed both orders and remanded the matter for de novo consideration by a reasoned speaking order after granting personal hearing, leaving all contentions open.
