The HC held that rejection of the statutory appeal on jurisdictional grounds was a departmental mistake where the office lacked a system to transmit the appeal to the correct appellate authority. Treating the defect as procedural rather than substantive, the Court set aside the impugned appellate order without examining the merits of the underlying dispute.
