2014 (10) TMI 165 - AT - Service TaxCondonation of delay - Jurisdiction of Commissioner to condone delay - Held that:- Commissioner (Appeals) has no power to condone the delay after expiry of 30 days period as provided under Section 85 of the Finance Act, 1994. We agree with the submission of the Revenue that there is no power of Commissioner (Appeals) to condone the delay. The wrong mentioning of the period of limitation in the preamble cannot override the statutory provision. We also notice that the Tribunal in the case of Raghav Industries (2008 (5) TMI 537 - CESTAT, NEW DELHI) and Sagar Enterprises (2009 (4) TMI 690 - CESTAT, CHENNAI) dismissed the appeal on the similar ground - No reason to interfere with order of the Commissioner (Appeals) - Decided against assessee.
