Sir,

Appellate Tribunal has not been constituted as provisions in respect of Appellate Tribunal have been held invalid vide Revenue Bar Association v. U.O.I [2019 (9) TMI 983 - MADRAS HIGH COURT] Therefore it has been provided that the appeal to Tribunal can be made within three months from the date of communication of order or date on which the president or the State President, as the case may be, of the appellate Tribunal enters office, whichever is later. Neither mere filing of appeal and stamping of the appeal memorandum by the Tribunal nor depositing the pre-deposit amount will not act as stay unless a stay order is passed by the Tribunal.. However you have liberty to move the jurisdictional High Court against subsequent notices issued by the Department for collection of amount confirmed against you and get a stay order from the court against Department's action.

As per EXCUS DVD, the decision of Madras High Court has not been challenged.
