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 e-filed the Memo of Appeal on 22.07.2026, and after scrutiny, the Office reported defects on 05.08.2026. The Appellant re-filed the Appeal on 27.08.2026, but no representation was made on behalf of the Appellant during the hearing. The Tribunal reviewed the Interlocutory Application and the Office report, finding the reasons for the delay sufficient. Consequently, the Tribunal condoned the 15-day delay in re-filing the Memo of Appeal and ordered the case to be listed for admission under the fresh case heading. The Interlocutory Application was disposed of with this order.
