2017 (4) TMI 859 - HC - Service TaxValidity of challenge made against order-in-original - the appellant chose to take recourse to an appellate remedy against the order-in-original, albeit, after the prescribed period of limitation had expired - Held that: - It is settled law that statutory forums and/or Courts, can and/or do decide matters both rightly and wrongly, albeit, within the limits of their respective jurisdictions. Erroneous orders of statutory forums and/or courts can only be corrected by a procedure known to law - keeping in view of the contention that the order-in-original was passed in breach of principles of natural justice, we can only state that, if, this assertion is correct, it is an error pertaining to jurisdiction, which could have, perhaps, been corrected, if, appropriate timely steps had been taken by the appellant, which could include a remedy by way of a petition filed under under Article 226 of the Constitution - after more than six years have expired, the appellant cannot be permitted to challenge the order-in-original via the present proceedings - appeal dismissed - decided against appellant.
