of <h1>CESTAT Order Challenge Dismissed: Time-Barred Appeal; Clarification on Liberty for Appeal; New Petition Dismissed</h1> <h3>M/s Sturdy Industries Ltd. Versus Union of India and others</h3> M/s Sturdy Industries Ltd. Versus Union of India and others - 2016 (342) E.L.T. 553 (P & H) Issues:Challenge to constitutional vires of Section 35(1) of the Central Excise Act, 1944.Delay in filing appeal before the Commissioner (Appeals).Dismissal of writ petition challenging the order of the CESTAT.Permissibility of filing another writ petition after dismissal of earlier petition.Analysis:The judgment involves a challenge to the constitutional vires of Section 35(1) of the Central Excise Act, 1944. The petitioner contended that there was sufficient cause to condone the delay in filing the appeal before the Commissioner (Appeals). However, it was noted that the appeal was barred under Section 35(1) of the Act, and the orders of the Commissioner (Appeals) and the CESTAT were in conformity with the said provision and a previous Supreme Court judgment. The petitioner's attempt to challenge the order of the CESTAT through a writ petition was dismissed by a Division Bench of the High Court, and the subsequent Special Leave to Appeal was allowed to be withdrawn with liberty to approach the appropriate forum for relief. Notably, the constitutional vires had not been challenged in the initial writ petition, and the liberty granted was specifically for filing an appeal against the CESTAT order, not another writ petition.The judgment further addresses the permissibility of the petitioner filing another writ petition after the dismissal of the earlier petition challenging the CESTAT order. It was deemed inappropriate to allow the petitioner to file another writ petition on different grounds following the orders passed in the previous writ petition. Consequently, the petition was dismissed by the High Court, indicating a restriction on filing another writ petition after the dismissal of a similar petition challenging the same order.
