Judgment M.M.Kumar, J. 1. The instant appeal filed under Section 35G the Central Excise Act, 1944 (for brevity the Act) is directed against order dated 17-4-2008 [2008 (227) E.L.T. 322 (Tri.-Del.)], passed by the Custom, Excise & Service Tax Appellate Tribunal, New Delhi (for brevity the Tribunal), holding that the inputs were never transported on which Modvat credits have been availed by the appellant-dealer. The Tribunal has recorded a categorical finding that as many as 133 cases of transportation were found to be fake after examining the owners of the concerned vehicles. The categorical findings are that the goods were received by the appellant and, therefore, availment of Modvat credit has been held to be illegal and fradulant. 2. We have heard learned counsel at a considerable length and find that there is no merit in the instant appeal. The argument raised by the learned counsel for the appellant that period of one year from the date of knowledge would be applicable, has failed to impress us. According to the learned counsel, the Revenue came to know about the facts on 7-2-2001 and within one year, show cause notice should have been issued as per the provisions of Section 11A of the Act which was issued on 23-3-2005. In support of the aforesaid submission, he has placed reliance on a judgment of Honble the Supreme Court rendered in the case of Nizam Sugar Factory v. Collector of Central Excise , A.P., 2006 (197) E.L.T., 465 (S.C.) = 2008 (9) S.T.R. 314 (S.C.). However, we find that the aforesaid judgment is not applicable because in that case, after the facts came to the knowledge of the Revenue, a show cause notice was issued and on the basis of the same facts and evidence another show cause notice was issued claiming that the period of limitation of 5 years would be available. Accordingly, Revenue was not permitted to avail the benefit of limitation as per proviso to sub-section (1) of Section 11A of the Act. However, in the present case, the first show cause notice was issued on 23-3-2005 as has been conceded by the counsel for the appellant. Therefore, there is no merit in the arguments raised. 3. Learned counsel has also argued that the supplier of material M/s. H.B.R. Steel Corporation was also proceeded against and proceedings have been dropped by the Tribunal. However, in the present case, the first show cause notice was issued on 23-3-2005 as has been conceded by the counsel for the appellant. Therefore, there is no merit in the arguments raised. 3. Learned counsel has also argued that the supplier of material M/s. H.B.R. Steel Corporation was also proceeded against and proceedings have been dropped by the Tribunal. However, we do not find any merit in the submissions because there are categorical findings against the appellant by the Tribunal whereas no such findings were recorded in the case of the supplier. The appeal is wholly misconceived. 4. Accordingly, the appeal fails and the same is dismissed.
