Condonation of delay denied where portal records showed due communication of notice, order-in-original and related documents.

Delay in filing the appeal was not condoned because the record showed that the show cause notice, reminders, order-in-original and DRC-07 had been uploaded on the common portal and were duly conveyed to the petitioner. The explanation that the documents were not communicated was found to be contrary to the record, so no sufficient cause was made out for condonation. As a result, the writ petition challenging dismissal of the appeal on limitation failed.
