Appeal dismissed for 151-day unexplained delay; impugned order upholding relief on site-formation and mining service demands
The SC dismissed the appeal, finding a gross unexplained delay of 151 days and no sufficient reasons to admit it. The Court declined to interfere with the impugned CESTAT order of 23-12-2024, which had set aside demands for alleged service tax on site-formation services (June 2005-May 2007) and for alleged short payment/undervaluation under mining service (June 2007-Sept 2008). The appeal was dismissed both on grounds of delay and on the merits.
There is a "gross delay of 151 days in filing the appeal" which "has not been satisfactorily explained." The Court found no reason to interfere with the "impugned order dated 23-12-2024 passed by the Customs, Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal, South Zonal Bench, Chennai." The appeal was "dismissed on the ground of delay as well as on merits." Pending application(s), if any, were disposed of. The decision rests on procedural default (unexplained excessive delay) coupled with an independent merits determination affirming the tribunal's order.
