S. Garg (Judicial Member) and<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"> P. Anjani Kumar (Technical Member)*<\/span> allowed the appeal. The Tribunal held that the construction of railway siding for Public Sector Undertaking\/Corporations exempted from levy of service tax under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-9000065759\" target=\"_blank\">Finance Act, 1994<\/a> (&#8216;Act&#8217;) as use of public also includes use by Public Sector Undertaking\/ Corporations.<\/p>\n<h3>Background:<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Appellants were awarded the work of Consultancy Services for the project management of construction of Board-gauge railway siding by Madhya Pradesh Power Generating Co. Ltd. (&#8220;MPPGCL&#8221;). The appellant was required to appoint or engage a contractor for execution of project work for and on behalf of MPPGCL. A tender was awarded to GVR-ENC, and approval of India Railways was taken.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">A show cause notice was issued to the appellants alleging that the appellants received works service from GVR-ENC, and it was not related to construction of railway for public use. Accordingly, the appellants were liable to pay service tax in terms of Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001550201\" target=\"_blank\">65-B(22)<\/a> read with Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001550208\" target=\"_blank\">66-E(h)<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-9000065759\" target=\"_blank\">Act<\/a>. The demand was confirmed upon holding that the service received by the appellants was not for public carriage of goods.<\/p>\n<h3>Analysis, Law and Decision:<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Tribunal observed that MPPGCL had appointed the appellants as consultants for the construction of a railway siding, and the appellants engaged the service of GVK-ENC to execute the contract. The demand for service tax was made on services received by the appellants from GVK-ENC under reverse charge mechanism under Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001550201\" target=\"_blank\">65-B(22)<\/a> read with Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001550208\" target=\"_blank\">66-E(h)<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-9000065759\" target=\"_blank\">Act<\/a>, holding the same was not public usage.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Tribunal relied on <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Cement Corpn. of India Ltd.<\/span> v. <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">CCE (GST)<\/span>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-9002816463\" target=\"_blank\">2024 SCC OnLine CESTAT 3678<\/a> wherein, the Tribunal held that there was no distinction between public and private railways in the Notification dated 20-6-2012 though, the word &#8220;Railways&#8221; is not defined under the Act. The Tribunal further held that distinction was not in the impugned order as the railway siding was constructed for use by a Public Sector Undertaking\/ Corporation, MPPGCL. The Tribunal held that by use of public does not necessarily mean by individual public but also includes use by Public Sector Undertaking\/ Corporations. Thus, the levy of tax could not be upheld, and the appeal was allowed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">[<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #632423;\">Rites Ltd. v.
