2018 (7) TMI 1608 - HC - CustomsCondonation of delay in filing appeal - non-service of copy of order - reasons adduced for seeking condonation of delay were unsubstantial or not? - Held that:- It is apparent that there was some considerable laxity on the part of the respondents, who appears to have used different addresses. There is no clear material on record to show that the petitioner was communicated with the order in original and at the same time, this Court notes some laxity on the part of the appellant as well. Nevertheless, the fact remains that the appellant was denied an opportunity to have the order on merits in original adjudication. The present appeal filed by the appellant is allowed and the matter is accordingly remitted to CESTAT for consideration of the appellant’s appeal on its merits, on appellant depositing the amount of pre-deposit - appeal disposed off.
