Summary

The two questions referred were about the sufficiency of the certificate of posting as evidence of despatch and the timely receipt of the appeal by the Collector (Appeals). The Tribunal accepted the assessee's evidence that the appeals were despatched on time, leading to a decision in favor of the assessee against the Revenue.
