I AM PAYING SERVICE TAX ON FREIGHT AS A RECIEVER OF SERVICE. THERE ARE SOME CONSIGNMENT NOTES IN WHICH SERVICE TAX IS ALREADY CHARGED. WHETHER THESE FREIGHT ON WHICH I HAVE ALREADY PAID ST TO GOVT THROUGH PARTY WILL ALSO BE TAKEN FOR MY SERVICE TAX CALCULATION OR THESE AMOUNT WILL NOT BE TAKEN AS I HAVE ALREADY INDIRECTLY PAID ST TO GOVT ON THAT AMT.??

As per law of service tax in case of GTA Service receiver is required to pay service tax and the liability is on service receiver.
So even if the Freight Party provide you with consignment note charged with service tax it will not relieve you from payment of service tax on said value.
In my opinion you will have to consider the same at the time of calculating service tax on total value.
