CC, Nagpur [1996 (81) E.L.T. 3 (S.C.)], held that since the Cenvat credit initially taken was reversed without being utilised by the Assessee, it is to be treated as if the Assessee has not taken the Cenvat credit and hence, would be eligible for the exemption benefit under the Exemption Notification.
