Appellate review of regulatory orders permits condonation for sufficient cause, while excluding orders made with party consent.

Section 57 provides an appellate remedy before the Appellate Tribunal against orders of the Controller or an adjudicating officer, except consent orders. Appeals must be filed within forty-five days of receiving the order, subject to condonation of delay for sufficient cause. After hearing the parties, the Appellate Tribunal may confirm, modify, or set aside the challenged order and must communicate its order to the parties and concerned officer. Appeals are to be dealt with expeditiously, with an endeavour for final disposal within six months.
