Case Note & Summary
The case involved an application by Sawalka Autotech Pvt. Ltd. to extend the time for curing defects in their Memo of Appeal. The Appellant initially e-filed the Memo of Appeal on 20.07.2026, but the Office identified defects on 03.08.2026 and notified the Appellant. The Appellant subsequently re-filed the Appeal on 31.08.2026. During the hearing, the counsel for the Appellant presented submissions regarding the reasons for the delay. The Tribunal considered these submissions and found them sufficient to justify the 21-day delay in re-filing. Consequently, the Tribunal condoned the delay and ordered that the case be listed for admission under the heading of 'fresh case'. The Interlocutory Application was thus disposed of with this order.
