No compliance period means no extension request was needed for redemption fine and penalty payment.

Where an earlier order reducing redemption fine and penalty did not prescribe any compliance period, no application for extension of time was required. The penalty had already been paid and the redemption fine was later accepted by the department, so no question arose of seeking further time. The departmental authorities could not insist on a fresh approach to the Tribunal after accepting payment and were directed to comply with the earlier order.

Issues: Whether extension of time was required for payment of the redemption fine and penalty imposed under the earlier order when no time for compliance had been fixed.

Analysis: The earlier order reducing the redemption fine and penalty did not prescribe any time limit for payment. The penalty had already been paid and the redemption fine was later accepted by the department. In the absence of a stipulated compliance period, no question of seeking extension arose, and the department could not compel the party to approach the Tribunal after accepting the payment.

Conclusion: Extension of time was not required, and the departmental authorities were directed to comply with the earlier order.
