Held

The Court decided the present appeal by adopting the decision rendered in CEA No.05/2018, 'Commissioner of Central GST and Central Excise, Jammu v. Sun Pharma Laboratories Limited'. The reasoning and ratio decidendi from that judgment were applied to this case. The operative directions would therefore mirror those in the 'Sun Pharma' case, which could include upholding or setting aside a prior order, remanding the matter for fresh consideration, or granting specific relief. The specific findings on the issues and the operative directions are not detailed in this order but are contingent upon the outcome of the referenced connected matter. Any issues expressly left undecided would also be as per the 'Sun Pharma' judgment.
