2018 (9) TMI 520 - HC - CustomsCondonation of delay in filing appeal - principles of Natural Justice - Held that:- A delinquent in a proceedings before the adjudicating authority is entitled to a right of hearing. In the present case, the petitioner was afforded a right of hearing. The petitioner, however, wanted deferment of the first date of hearing on medical conditions - here the petitioner consists of more than one natural person. Therefore, the petitioner cannot take benefit of the so-called medical condition of one of the partners to ask for repeated adjournments. Taking a sympathetic view on the subject, it would be appropriate to quash the impugned order on the ground of the same being vitiated by breach of the principles of natural justice, as it does not deal with the request for adjournment on their second date of hearing - the impugned order is quashed to the extent of the petitioner only - petition disposed off.
