4,30,000/- in the office premises of the appellant. The officers were fully satisfied that the said cash was fully accounted for and they did not seize this cash. Thus no unaccounted cash was found during the search of the office premises or the factory premises or the two 5 E/51310, 51323/2016-DB residential premises of its director, which establishes that the appellant has not manufactured & cleared any goods clandestinely. 4.2.

None of the hard disc of desktop computers or laptops or other pen drives contain any incriminating data. Reconstructed data or data retrieved from computer /laptop is not admissible as evidence under the provisions of Section 36B of the CEA, 1944, as it was not produced by the computer during the period over which it was used regularly to store or process information. The data has been retrieved from the pen drive subsequently after almost after 1 year 9 months from the date of search and not during the course of use of the hard disc, computer or pen drives.

Ltd. Vs. CCE, 2005 (184) ELT 165 (CESTAT). Hence the demand of duty on the basis of the data retrieved from the pen drive is not sustainable. 4.3.
