alty. An adjudication order was passed on 28th March 2012 confirming the above demand of tax, interest and penalty against which the Assessee went in appeal before the Commissioner (Appeals) who, by the order dated 25th July 2013, dismissed the appeal. The Assessee then went in appeal before the CESTAT which, by the impugned order, has allowed the appeal and set aside the adjudication orders as well as the order in appeal. 9. The CESTAT has, in the impugned order, held that the amendment was made to Section 67 of the FA 1994 as well as Rule 6 of the ST Rules only with effect from 10th May 2008 and not retrospectively. It was noted that the explanation to Rule 6 being prejudicial to the interest of the AE would, therefore, not apply retrospectively. 10. The learned counsel for the Appellant-Department sought to urge that the explanation is merely a clarification and did not change the position that existed even prior to 10th May 2008. According to him, the service tax liability always a

In fact, the Board circular shows that invocation of clause (ii) had never been in contemplation of the taxing authorities. xxx xxx xxx 52. As stated hereinbefore, for the aforementioned purpose, the expressions like for the removal of doubts are not conclusive. The said expressions appear to have been used under assumption that organizing games of chance would be rendition of service. We are herein not concerned as to whether it was constitutionally permissible for the Parliament to do so as we are not called upon to determine the said question but for our purpose, it would be suffice to hold that the explanation is not clarificatory or declaratory in nature. 12. In the present case, the Court finds that although the intention behind the insertion of the above Explanation to Rule 6 of ST Rules corresponding to the amended Explanation (c) to Section 67 of the FA was to bring a
