Haryana High Court in the case of CCE, Gurgaon Vs Alcatel Modi Network
System Ltd [2008 (221) ELT 358 (P & H)], held that any amount deposited
during the pendency of investigation and proceedings, if the same are not
adjudged as duty, fine or penalty then the amount that is not adjudged as
duty, fine or penalty is to be treated as revenue deposit and the provisions
of refund of duty shall not be applicable to the same. For the reasons

duty and it was only later on appropriated towards the payment, which was
in relation to reversal of credit. Moreover, the said appropriation itself was
set aside by the Tribunal when the entire order was set aside.
