Case Note & Summary
The case involved an application for extending the time granted for curing defects in a Memo of Appeal filed by the Appellant. The Appellant, Suresh Kumar Jalan and others, e-filed the Memo of Appeal on 03.07.2026. After scrutiny, the Office notified the Appellant of defects on 29.07.2026. The Appellant re-filed the Appeal on 15.08.2026, which led to the current application. The Tribunal noted that none appeared for the Appellant during the proceedings. Upon reviewing the averments made in the Interlocutory Application and the Office report, the Tribunal found the reasons provided to be sufficient. Consequently, the Tribunal condoned the delay of 10 days in re-filing the Memo of Appeal and directed that the case be listed before the Hon’ble Bench for admission as a fresh case. The Interlocutory Application was disposed of with this order.
