The HC quashed the impugned orders dated 21.12.2024 and remitted the matters to the first respondent for fresh adjudication on merits and in accordance with law. The court observed that the second respondent correctly rejected the belated appeals filed 62 days beyond the condonable period, given the petitioner's failure to respond to show-cause notices or appear for personal hearing; however, in view of the petitioner having deposited 100% of disputed tax for October and December 2023 and 10% for November 2023, equity warranted relief. The petitioner is directed to pay an additional 15% of the disputed tax for November 2023 in cash via Electronic Cash Register within 30 days of receipt of this order. Petition disposed.
