Issues: Whether the appellate authority was justified in rejecting the petitioner's appeal as time barred and declining to condone the delay, and whether the matter required remand for decision on merits.
Analysis: The challenge arose from the dismissal of the statutory appeal on limitation. The Court noted the petitioner's case that the original order was not properly served electronically or physically and that the appeal period under Section 107 of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017 runs from communication of the order. It found that the appellate authority had not fairly verified service of the order before rejecting the condonation application and had proceeded only on the pleadings. In such circumstances, the refusal to condone delay and the consequential dismissal of the appeal could not be sustained.
Conclusion: The order dismissing the appeal as time barred was set aside, any delay in filing the appeal was condoned, and the appeal was remitted to the appellate authority for decision on merits.
Final Conclusion: The petitioner obtained relief against the limitation-based rejection, and the substantive appeal was restored for fresh adjudication before the appellate authority.
Ratio Decidendi: Where service of the original order is disputed, the appellate authority must fairly verify communication before rejecting a condonation request and cannot dismiss the appeal on limitation without such verification.
