2017 (1) TMI 871 - HC - Central ExciseRestoration of appeals - delay of 776 days in rectifying objections - Held that: - the Registry dismissed this appeal for want of compliance with procedural formalities after giving an opportunity to the Revenue to so comply with the same. Thus, after lodging this appeal on 2nd April, 2014, no steps were taken even after sufficient time was granted and additionally to the Revenue - Now, waking up after more than two and half years after such a dismissal and seeking restoration of the appeal would not be fair and proper. It is clear that there is no cause shown, much less some change in the panel of advocates. No details are provided and a vague statement is made in paragraph 5 of the affidavit-in-support. The delay of 776 days remains unexplained. The cause shown is not bona fide and reasonable. The appeal is, therefore, dismissed for want of prosecution.
