Dinesha (Judicial Member) being aggrieved by the impugned order where appeal of assessee was allowed on the ground that unwarranted removal were based on the recorded statements with no corroborative evidence.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Facts leading to the dispute were that assessee was found to have maintained two invoices of same number with different dates and different value but accounting only one of the two. Ms T. Usha Devi, learned Deputy Commissioner on behalf of the Revenue, contended that the assessee had maintained duplicate invoices which on being contested was not rebutted and can be considered as sufficient proof that there was unwarranted activity. Whereas Mr M.A. Mudimannan, learned counsel appearing for the assessee, supported the findings of the Commissioner made in the appeal.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Tribunal was of the view that the duplicate invoices caused difference between physical production quantity in the stock register and that in respect of only the duplicate invoices the unwarranted removal will have to sustain. The adjudicating authority was directed to re-work the demand which was based on duplicate invoice. Therefore, this appeal was partly allowed and partly remanded. [CCE v. A.R.
