2020 (2) TMI 1263 - AT - CustomsCondonation of delay of 764 days in filing the appeal - imposition of penalty for violation of Regulation 11(a) and (n) of CBLR, 2013 - HELD THAT:- It is settled position of law that merely because a decision which is in favour come to the notice, it cannot be a ground to seek condonation of delay. The appellant has failed to promptly avail the appeal remedy. Though law of limitation is not meant to destroy the right of parties, it cannot favour those who are sleeping. In the present case, the appellant has deliberately opted not to file appeal initially. Thereafter, this appeal is filed only on the advice given that the penalty can be set aside - there is no evidence to show that the livelihood of appellant is affected or his intention to expand business is interrupted. The appellant has not been able to put forward sufficient cause to condone the delay. Further, the delay is more than two years - the application for condonation of delay is without merits - Appeal dismissed.
