1994 (4) TMI 77 - HC - Central Excise

Summary

The High Court of Delhi allowed the writ petition challenging the order of CEGAT dismissing the application for condonation of delay in filing an appeal. The Court held that the delay was due to a communication gap in the advocate's office and not the party's fault. The advocate had taken sufficient steps to file the appeal on time, and the delay was promptly rectified once discovered. The Court quashed the CEGAT's order, condoned the delay, and directed the CEGAT to register the appeal if other legal conditions are met.
