It is the contention of the applicant that they have paid the amount in excess in the month of April 2004 and May 2004. We are therefore of the view the fact regarding excess payment is required to be verified by the Commissioner (Appeal). Accordingly we waive the pre-deposit and remand the case back to Commissioner for decision on merit after ascertaining the excess deposit of Rs. 14,451/- as service tax as contended by the applicant. Stay petition as well as Appeal are disposed of by way of remand.

Considering the fact that the entire amount of service tax and interest has been paid before the issuance of the show-cause notice, I reduce the penalty under section 78 to 25% of the service tax but confirm the penalty imposed under section 77 by the impugned orders. The appellants are directed to pay penalty under section 78 confirmed by this order within 30 days of the communication of this order. Failing which, the appellants shall be liable to pay 100% of penalty as imposed in the impugned orders. The appeals are disposed of in the above terms.

Press mud is an unavoidable and inevitable waste which arises when the cane juice obtained after crushing the sugar cane is further processed for manufacture of sugar. Press mud is nothing but impurities present in the cane juice.

In absence of any particular format prescribed under the respective notifications, the department insisting for declaration on each consignment note for allowing the abatement under the said Notifications is un-sustainable in law. In these circumstances the declarations filed by the Goods Transport Agencies (GTA) in their letter-heads or in the respective payment bills certifying that they have not availed Cenvat credit on puts or capital goods nor availed the benefit of exemption Notification 12/2003 S.T., dated 20-6-2003 should have been accepted by the department in extending the benefit of Notification Nos. 32/2003- S.T. and 1/2006-S.T. In view of the above findings, we do not see any merit in the impugned orders passed by the ld. Commissioner. Consequently the order is set aside and the Appeals are allowed.
