Commissioner Of Central G.S.T. And Central Excise J And K Jammu vs. V M C O Alloys

Held

The Court held that the present appeal (CEA No.146/2019) is disposed of in terms of the detailed order passed in CEA No.05/2018. This implies that the outcome of this appeal is contingent upon the decision in the referenced case. The reasoning is that the present appeal is being decided by adopting the findings and directions of the order in CEA No.05/2018. The ratio decidendi would be that when a matter is consolidated or decided by reference to another judgment, the principles of that judgment apply. No specific operative directions are given in this judgment, other than the disposal in terms of the other order. No issues were expressly left undecided.
