Though i am not able to recollect a recent judgement it was in the favor of the service provider. ie if there is no service provided then there is no requirement of filing returns for the same.

As per section 70 read with Rule 7C of Service Tax rules,there is a maximum penalty of Rs 20,000 in case of non-filing of service tax return.
But the penalty cn be waived off if the Central Excise Officer is satisfied that Gross amont ofservice tax payable was NIL.
Als in a recent judgement of M/s Suchak Marketing Pvt Ltd VS Commission of Service Tax Kolkata (2013),it was upheld that it is not necessary to file NIL Service Tax return.
