ORDER
D.N. Panda, Judicial Member
This bench had an occasion to hear similar matters on divisible contract in the case of Balaji Tirupati Enterprises v. CCE [Vide Final Order No. ST/A/735/12-Cus, dated 21-11-2012] and CCE v. Kailash Transformers [Vide Final Order No. ST/A/402/12-Cus, dated 23-5-2012]. It was opined in those orders that insofar as supplies of material are concerned, such materials shall not be liable to service tax because Finance Act, 1994 is not a Commodity Taxation Law. Contract covering taxable service have been directed to be taxed. Both sides agree that present case is also a case of divisible contract and service element has suffered tax. In such a situation, we have no difference to earlier orders passed for which waiving requirement of pre-deposit, appeal is allowed.
