Condonation of delay and limitation for preferring statutory appeals was determinative: the appellate forum found repeated adjournments and that the appeal was filed after the condonable period, so the Commissioner (Appeal) correctly held the appeal time-barred and dismissed it.

Forum shopping and invocation of writ jurisdiction were noted but did not alter the limitation outcome.
