Condonation of delay in filing application - delay on the ground...

Condonation of delay in filing application - delay on the ground that the impugned order was not served - Even otherwise, it is evident from the said application that the appellant was aware on August 17, 2016 that an order had been passed on March 15, 2016 by the Commissioner after the personal hearing was conducted on March 8, 2016. Thus, when the appellant, even according to his own statement, was aware that an order had been passed on March 15, 2016, then the appellant should have taken immediate steps to obtain the order so that the appeal could be filed within the three months from the said date, but as it transpires the appeal was actually filed on October 25, 2019 after a period of almost three years and two months. - AT
