Failure to consider grounds advanced in a delay-condonation application rendered the rejection of a delayed GST appeal unsustainable, irrespective of whether those grounds would ultimately succeed. The High Court set aside the limitation-based rejection, condoned the delay subject to timely payment of costs, and required the appellate authority to decide the appeal on merits. Protection would lapse upon non-compliance with that condition or unnecessary adjournments. The underlying tax demand was not examined.
