2019 (9) TMI 1219 - AT - CustomsCondonation of delay of about 4½ years in filing appeal - rejection of refund claim - HELD THAT:- The Proprietor has not enquired about the outcome of their appeal. It is only on 29.01.2019 that the very same Proprietor Shri Vinod Kumar has filed the RTI application requesting for details of the OIA. In reply to the RTI query, the department has furnished the number and date of the OIA and also provided a copy of the same. The date of despatch is mentioned as 11.04.2014 and the mode of despatch is also shown as ‘Speed Post’. The appellant has not preferred any appeal against the said reply furnished by the CPIO of the department under the RTI Act. There has been inordinate delay on the part of the appellant to file the appeal. The plea put forward by the appellant that department did not inform them as to whether the matter was referred to call book etc. is not reflected anywhere in the records. This is a mere assumption made by the appellant. There is huge delay in filing the appeal which remains unexplained by the appellant - COD application dismissed.
