4.2 The above judgment of Hon'ble Gujarat High
Court has been affirmed by the Hon'ble Supreme
Court, reported at Commissioner of Central Excise &
Customs, Surat-III vs. Creative Enterprises 2009
(243) E.L.T. A120 (S.C.). There are many more
judgments passed on this issue, which is directly on
the issue in hand. According to which, even though
the payment of duty is disputed, unless and until,
any action for challenging the assessment of the
supplier is taken, Cenvat Credit at the recipient end
cannot be disputed, on the ground that the supplier
was not supposed to pay duty, may be for various
reasons that either the goods is not amount to
manufacture, or exempted etc.
4.3 In view of the above legal position, we are of the
clear view that the Learned Commissioner (Appeals)
has rightly allowed the Cenvat credit on capital
goods to the respondent. Hence, the order of the
Learned Commissioner is absolutely legal and
correct, which does not require any interference.
Accordingly, the same is upheld."
