Provisions expressly mentioned in the judgment/order text.
The Tribunal rejected the Appellant's application for condonation of delay in filing the appeal under Section 9C(i) of the Customs Tariff Act, 1975. The Appellant's justification for the delay, citing a related party's Writ Petition and subsequent legal processes, was deemed unsatisfactory. Despite the withdrawal of the Writ Petition allowing parties to pursue appellate remedies, the Tribunal found the Appellant's explanation lacking compared to timely utilized statutory remedies by others. As a result, the delay condonation application was rejected, and the appeal was ultimately dismissed on 13 December, 2019.
Issues involved: Delay in filing appeal under Section 9C(i) of the Customs Tariff Act, 1975 based on Anti Dumping duty Notification dated 09 April, 2019. Application for condonation of delay due to related party's Writ Petition.
Analysis: The appeal was filed beyond the 90-day period from the Anti Dumping duty Notification date. The Appellant sought condonation of delay citing a related party's Writ Petition in the Punjab & Haryana High Court. The Writ Petition was withdrawn on 05 September, 2019, allowing parties to pursue appellate remedies. The Appellant justified the delay due to legal processes, management meetings, and engagement of lawyers post-Writ Petition withdrawal. The Designated Authority and Respondents opposed the delay condonation, arguing statutory remedies were available and timely utilized by others. The Tribunal noted the Appellant's failure to file the appeal during the Writ Petition pendency, contrasting with another party's timely appeal filing. The Tribunal referenced a previous case where a similar delay condonation request was rejected. Consequently, the Tribunal found the Appellant's explanation unsatisfactory and rejected the delay condonation application. The rejection did not affect another party's appeal. Ultimately, the appeal was dismissed on 13 December, 2019.
