Appeals dismissed for unexplained 419-day delay and 102-day refiling; coaching deemed commercial service attracting service tax
SC dismissed the appeals against the CESTAT, South Zonal Bench, Chennai, finding an unexplained gross delay of 419 days in filing and 102 days in refiling. The Court declined to interfere with the impugned CESTAT order dated 07.11.2023 addressing whether the appellant's coaching/training constituted a commercial service attracting service tax, and dismissed the appeals both on grounds of delay and on the merits.
There is a "gross delay of 419 days in filing and 102 days in refiling the appeals" which "has not been satisfactorily explained." The Court reviewed the impugned order dated 07.11.2023 of the Customs, Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal, South Zonal Bench, Chennai, and concluded that, "even otherwise, we find no good ground to interfere with the impugned order." Consequently, the appeals are "dismissed on the ground of delay as well as merits." Any pending application(s) stand disposed of. The decision rests on both procedural default (inordinate unexplained delay) and an assessment that the Tribunal's order merited no interference.
