Issues: Appeal against order of Customs, Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal dismissing delay condonation applications and main appeals filed by Department challenging orders of Commissioner of Central Excise (Appeals).
Analysis: The appeals were filed against a common order made by the Customs, Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal, dismissing the Department's applications seeking to condone the delay in filing appeals against orders passed by the Commissioner of Central Excise (Appeals). The Tribunal non-suited the Department for the relief of condoning the delay, leading to the dismissal of the main appeals.

The Tribunal expressed dissatisfaction with the Department's explanation, stating that the reliefs sought by the assessee were clear, and the Department should have taken remedial measures promptly. Additionally, the Commissioner's order in favor of the assessee was based on a Supreme Court decision, further supporting the dismissal of the appeals.
