The article addresses maintainability of appeals under the proviso to Section 129A(1), holding that the Tribunal may exercise discretion to refuse admission where the penalty determined by the impugned order falls below the monetary threshold of two lakh rupees; accordingly the appeals were dismissed as not maintainable.
