                                                 power. The power generated from the aforesaid process on inputs

                                                 power generated with the use of such inputs. In addition to power,
                                                 fly ash and other resultant products generated at power plant using
                                                 the inputs will also vest with JSL and the Appellant will have no

                                                 proposed transaction  amounts to manufacture  and therefore  it
                                                 would not qualify as ‘job work’ under GST.

                                                 on the basis that the transaction pertains to GST liability of JSL and
                                                 not of Appellant.
