Issues: Condonation of Delay in filing the appeal, Application for stay

Condonation of Delay in filing the appeal:
The appellant filed an appeal along with an application for Condonation of Delay. Despite multiple notices, neither the appellant nor any representative appeared on two separate occasions. The reasons provided for the delay were that one party was on a business tour, and the other was unwell. However, it was noted that a firm, being a non-human entity, cannot go on a tour. The Tribunal found the reasons for delay unsatisfactory and dismissed the application for Condonation of Delay along with the appeal and stay application.

Application for stay:
The Tribunal dismissed the application for stay along with the appeal due to the unsatisfactory explanation provided for the delay in filing the appeal. Despite sending multiple notices and giving the appellant opportunities to present their case, no satisfactory reasons were provided for the delay. The Tribunal noted that the reasons given, such as one party being on a business tour, were not valid as a firm cannot be on a tour. Therefore, the application for stay was also dismissed.

In conclusion, the Tribunal found the reasons provided for the delay in filing the appeal to be unsatisfactory and dismissed both the application for Condonation of Delay and the appeal itself. The application for stay was also dismissed in light of the lack of valid reasons for the delay.
