Appeal to Commissioner (Appeals) - Limitation - Condonation of delay Issues Involved:Delay in filing appeal before Commissioner (Appeals)Analysis:The issue in this case pertains to the delay of 29 days in filing an appeal before the Commissioner (Appeals). The Commissioner had dismissed the appeal as time-barred due to this delay. The appellants provided medical documents to justify the delay, including medical certificates, test reports, and x-ray reports, indicating that the partner of the firm was undergoing medical treatment during the relevant period and was also involved in the administrative work of the firm.Upon hearing both sides and examining the records, the Tribunal found that the medical documents submitted by the appellants were indeed sufficient to warrant the condonation of the delay in filing the appeals. Consequently, the delay was condoned, and the impugned order dismissing the appeal without considering the merits of the case was set aside. The matter was remanded back to the Commissioner for a decision on the merits.Therefore, the Tribunal allowed both appeals by way of remand, emphasizing that the delay in filing the appeals was justified due to the partner's medical condition and involvement in the firm's administrative duties. The decision to remand the matter back to the Commissioner for a fresh consideration on merits signifies the importance of a fair evaluation of the case beyond procedural aspects, ensuring that justice is served comprehensively.This judgment highlights the significance of justifying delays in legal proceedings with adequate and relevant evidence, such as medical documents in this case. It underscores the principle of balancing procedural requirements with the substantive merits of a case to ensure a fair and thorough examination of all aspects before reaching a final decision.
