Summary On 3 January 2001, the Supreme Court heard the Commissioner of Central Excise's appeal against Ester Industries Limited regarding MODVAT credit eligibility for High Speed Diesel Oil. The Court found the Customs, Excise & Gold (Control) Appellate Tribunal erred in declining to make a reference and allowed the appeal, directing the Tribunal to refer two questions to the High Court: (a) whether HSD qualifies as input under Section 'AAA' and Rule 57A of Central Excise Rules, 1944; and (b) whether MODVAT credit can be allowed on HSD (Heading 27.10) when specifically excluded from MODVAT provisions. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
