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 initially e-filed the Memo of Appeal on 03.07.2026, but upon scrutiny by the Office on 29.07.2026, defects were identified and communicated to the Appellant. The Appellant subsequently re-filed the Appeal on 15.08.2026. During the proceedings, no representative appeared for the Appellant. The Tribunal reviewed the Interlocutory Application and the Office report, considering the reasons provided by the Appellant for the delay. The Tribunal found the reasons sufficient and decided to condone the delay of 10 days in re-filing the Memo of Appeal. Consequently, the Tribunal ordered that the case be listed before the Hon’ble Bench for admission as a fresh case, thereby disposing of the Interlocutory Application.
