No penalty on basis of confessional statement of assessee if it was retracted very next day

Excise & Customs : Once alleged statement made by assessee was retracted on next day itself with allegations of force and duress, onus to prove that said statement was voluntary shifted upon department and in absence of any such proof from department, confessional statement is not evidence to levy penalty
