Provisions expressly mentioned in the judgment/order text.
Court allows appeal, directs payment of costs, emphasizes company revival post-BIFR approval.
The Court allowed the appeal, setting aside the dismissal of the restoration application by CESTAT. The company was directed to pay a specified amount towards costs within a given timeframe. The Tribunal was instructed to promptly decide the appeal on merits after the payment of costs. The Court emphasized the need to support the company's revival, considering its approval for a revival package by BIFR.
Issues: Appeal against dismissal of restoration application by CESTAT.
Analysis: 1. The appeal was filed by a company against the dismissal of their restoration application by the CESTAT. The company had earlier filed a waiver application and a stay application, which were granted on the condition that they deposit a certain amount. However, since the company failed to make the deposit, the appeal was dismissed in 2007.
2. The Tribunal had the power to restore the appeal dismissed for non-compliance with the directions in the stay order. The Court acknowledged that the company had not taken proper steps to prosecute the appeal after it was dismissed for default, but noted that during that period, the company was before the BIFR. The company had been given a revival package approved by BIFR, indicating the need to extend every possible opportunity and support for the company's revival.
3. The Court opined that imposition of costs would have been sufficient to grant restoration of the appeal, especially when the condition of depositing a certain amount was also complied with. Therefore, the Court allowed the appeal, setting aside the impugned orders, and directed the appellant to pay a specified amount towards costs within a given timeframe. The Tribunal was instructed to decide the appeal on merits promptly after the payment of costs.
4. The judgment concluded by instructing the communication of a copy of the judgment to the Tribunal for further action.
