The appellant received the Order-In-Original dated 26th December 2019 on 30th December 2019 and was required to file the appeal by 30th March 2020 under Section 85(3A) of the Act.

Commissioner of Central Excise, Jamshedpur [2008 (221) E.L.T. 163 (S.C.)], held the appeal not maintainable due to delay beyond the statutory and condonable periods. The Tribunal affirmed that it 'cannot condone the delay' in view of this precedent and accordingly dismissed the appeal.
