Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. The Tribunal observed that since the order against the company was set aside in a previous appeal, the current appeal by the Revenue was rejected. The Revenue then appealed to the High Court, which remanded the case back to the Tribunal for proper disposal. However, the Tribunal noted that the appeal memo did not seek any relief against the company, making the appeal against the company not maintainable.The Revenue sought to rectify a typographical error in the appeal memo where the company's name was incorrectly mentioned instead of the individual's name. The Tribunal, after considering the appeal memo and the rectification application, found that the appeal was filed in a casual manner without proper attention to details. The Tribunal rejected the application for amendment due to the significant delay between the filing of the appeal and the request for amendment. As no relief was sought against the company in the appeal, the Tribunal concluded that the appeal had no merit and dismissed both the appeal and the miscellaneous application.In summary, the Tribunal emphasized the importance of proper filing procedures and attention to detail in legal matters. The rejection of the appeal and the rectification application highlighted the need for diligence in presenting cases before the Tribunal. The decision underscored that appeals must be filed with accuracy and diligence to maintain their merit and uphold the integrity of the legal process.
