2014 (1) TMI 1859 - HC - Central ExciseRestoration of appeal - appeal was dismissed for want of prosecution - grievance of the appellant before the Tribunal was that the appeal reached hearing after a lapse of eight years. Unit premises, from February 16, 2002, were closed. In these circumstances, they prayed that the appeal be restored to file - Held that:- The restoration application has also been dismissed and we find that from both orders, no substantial question of law arises within the meaning of section 35G of the Central Excise Act, 1944. When the appellant engaged an advocate and even the advocate did not bother to follow up the matter for eight long years and when it reached hearing, none was present, we do not see how the Tribunal can be faulted for dismissing the appeal for non-prosecution - appeal cannot be restored - appeal dismissed.
