HC overturned dismissal of tax appeal that was rejected due to two-day filing delay. Appeal was filed on 90th day from email communication dated 22.12.2023 of original order dated 20.12.2023. Under Section 107 of KGST Act 2017, three-month appeal period runs from order date or communication date. Appellant had filed rectification application with delay condonation request supported by affidavit within condonable period. Second respondent failed to judiciously exercise powers under Section 107(2) to consider delay condonation. Court directed appeal to be heard on merits, finding technical dismissal unjustified.
