The entire case is based on principal claim of revenue neutrality and non-applicability of the principle of unjust enrichment. It is undisputed fact that the duty amount was not paid on the due date in relation to the period for which the authority had found short-payment essentially because there was subsequent payment of the said amount, that cannot ipso facto result in revenue neutrality, merely because the appellants are entitled to avail credit in respect of the duty paid.

It is proposed to set up the Tax Administration Reforms Commission.

The first argument that classification of service cannot be changed in the hands of the recipient, by itself is good enough to allow this appeal. Further I note that there is no reference in the opening paragraph to the classification as indicated in column (2) of the Table in the Notification. This appears to be a serious lacuna.
