He fairly concedes that the issue is covered against them by the Tribunal's Larger Bench decision in the case of Kirloskar Oil Engine v. CCE, reported in 1994 (74) ELT 835 (T).

The said notices related to the period from March, 1992 to March, 1994, which included the period involved in the present appeal i.e. from January, 1993 to December, 199....
