Appeal allowed due to timely filing despite initial rejection. Order-in-Appeal set aside for further consideration.
The appeal was allowed as the court found that the appeal was filed within the limitation period despite the initial rejection based on being time-barred. The court clarified the date of service of the Order-in-Original to be later than previously determined, enabling the appeal to be considered timely. Consequently, the impugned Order-in-Appeal was set aside, and the case was remanded for further consideration on its merits by the Commissioner (Appeals).
Issues: Appeal dismissed as time-barred; Date of service of Order-in-Original; Appeal filed within limitation period.
In the present case, the appeal was directed against an Order-in-Appeal that had been rejected as time-barred by the Learned Commissioner (Appeals). The proceedings involved a show cause notice dated 13.12.2016, where the appellant had two addresses - one in Hinjewadi, Pune, and another in Ranjangaon MIDC, Taluka Shirur, District Ahmednagar. Despite a letter sent to the Hinjewadi address being returned, the Order-in-Original issued on 12.02.2018 was addressed to that same address. However, a copy of the Order-in-Original was obtained by Shri. Sumit Tawari through an RTI application on 29.07.2019, and the appellant received an attested copy on 27.09.2019, following a request made on 19.09.2019 to enable them to file an appeal.
The Commissioner (Appeals) had determined that the appellant received the copy of the Order-in-Original on 05.08.2019, deeming the appeal time-barred. However, it was clarified that the copy was actually given to Shri Sumit Tawari on that date, not directly to the appellant. Consequently, the date of service of the Order-in-Original on the appellant was considered to be 27.09.2019. As a result, the appeal filed before the Commissioner (Appeals) was found to be within the limitation period prescribed by law.
Based on the above finding, the impugned Order-in-Appeal was set aside, and the matter was remanded to the Commissioner (Appeals) for a decision on the merits of the case. Ultimately, the appeal was allowed by way of remand, ensuring that the appellant's right to present their case was preserved, and the issue of timeliness was appropriately addressed.
