Issues involved: Delay in filing appeal, recall of order, non-appearance of assessee, dismissal of appeal as unadmitted, technical error in filing Power of Attorney.
Delay in filing appeal: The assessee-Society sought recall of the order due to a delay of 45 days in filing the appeal. Despite opportunities given, no reasons for the delay were provided, leading to the appeal being dismissed as unadmitted. Recall of order: The applicant argued that there was a technical error in not filing the Power of Attorney of their appointed attorneys, resulting in the delay in filing the appeal. They claimed to have a strong case on merits, but failed to present a justifiable reason for the delay during the initial filing. Non-appearance of assessee: The Tribunal noted that despite a defect memo, the assessee-Society did not offer any explanation for the delay in filing the appeal. The Bench considered this lack of response as a key factor in dismissing the appeal as unadmitted. Dismissal of appeal as unadmitted: The Tribunal rejected the misc. application for recall of the order, stating that reconsidering the issue of delay would amount to a review, which is not permissible under section 254(2) of the Act. The Tribunal found no merit in the application as the assessee failed to provide a satisfactory explanation for their non-appearance during the hearing. Technical error in filing Power of Attorney: The applicant mentioned a technical error in not filing the Power of Attorney of their appointed attorneys, despite having the Power of Attorney of another individual on record. This error was cited as one of the reasons for the delay in filing the appeal. Separate Judgement: No separate judgment was delivered by the judges in this case. Order pronounced on the 14th day of May, 2010.
