For GST appeals, limitation under Section 107 runs from communication of the specific order challenged and is not automatically suspended or restarted by a rectification petition. Statutory condonation limits cannot be enlarged through principles underlying Section 5 of the Limitation Act. Principles underlying Section 14 may nevertheless permit exclusion of time spent pursuing a rectification petition where it concerns the same parties and matter and was pursued with due diligence and good faith. Good faith requires an arguable rectification basis, not a meritless attempt to introduce material absent from the original proceedings. Where exclusion is established, the appeal period is computed after excluding the rectification period; otherwise, reconsideration may be subject to agreed remittance conditions.
