2017 (10) TMI 283 - HC - Central ExciseRestoration of appeal - appeal was dismissed for non-compliance of the pre-deposit order - Held that: - the Appellants have not made any effort to attend the hearings before the Appellate Tribunal and / or place the recommendation of the BIFR for winding up of the Appellants Company on 15th November 2006 before the Appellate Tribunal when the stay application came up for hearing on 12th January 2007 - It appears that the Appellants were only interested in prolonging the proceedings as also noticed by the Appellate Tribunal and the Appellate Tribunal had given ample opportunities to the Appellants for complying with their prior orders. The Appeal had been dismissed in March 2007 but the Appellants chose to file the Application for restoration of Appeal only in April 2013 i.e. over six years later and the Appellants have not been able to justify the delay in preferring the restoration application. It is not open for the Appellants to contend that they were not aware of the dismissal of their Appeal for non-compliance - appeal dismissed decided against appellant.
