Case Note & Summary
The case involved an application to extend 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 notified the Appellant of the defects on 05.08.2026. The Appellant subsequently re-filed the Appeal on 27.08.2026. However, no representation was made on behalf of the Appellant during the proceedings. The Tribunal reviewed the Interlocutory Application and the Office report, considering the reasons provided for the delay. It determined that the reasons were sufficient to justify the delay of 15 days in re-filing the Memo of Appeal. Consequently, the Tribunal condoned the delay and directed that the case be listed for admission under the fresh case heading. The Interlocutory Application was thus disposed of with this order.
