There no specific case law but It is clearly mentioned in the Rule 6 of Central Excise Rules that The provisions of sub- rule (1), sub-rule (2), sub-rule (3) and sub-rule (4) shall not be applicable in case the exempted goods are either cleared to a unit in a free trade zone or cleared to a unit in a special economic zone and as per noti no:39/2002 ce ,both ,unit and developer are equal for excise exmption. So there is no question to disallow cenvat credit or reversal of an amount equal to 10% of sale value.

This is the reason no case law.
