Issues:
1. Review of an order dismissing appeals on the ground of limitation. 2. Allegations of delay in filing appeals and reasons provided. 3. Examination of judicial pronouncements and their applicability. 4. Arguments regarding the gap between hearing and decision. 5. Reference to a decision of the Bombay High Court and its relevance. Analysis: The judgment by the Appellate Tribunal ITAT Delhi deals with the review application filed by M/s. K.L. Tin Box seeking reconsideration of an order dismissing their appeals on the basis of limitation. The Tribunal found that the first appellate authority had dismissed the appeals due to delay in submission, a decision with which the Tribunal concurred. The applicant argued various points in the review, including misplacement of papers and engagement of a new counsel causing delays in filing the appeals. The prescribed period for filing the appeals had expired, and the Tribunal noted that the reasons provided for the delay were insufficient. Despite the explanations given regarding the delay, the Tribunal found that the appeals were still barred by limitation. The Tribunal also examined judicial pronouncements cited by the appellant but concluded that the facts of those cases were not analogous to the present situation, hence the delay could not be condoned based on those decisions. Furthermore, the Tribunal addressed the argument regarding the gap between the hearing of the appeals and the decision date. The Tribunal dismissed this argument, emphasizing the need for timely filing of appeals. Additionally, the appellant referred to a decision of the Bombay High Court, which was deemed irrelevant to the present case as it did not align with the circumstances of the appeal at hand. In conclusion, the Tribunal dismissed the application for review, stating that the reasons provided were not sufficient to overturn the original decision. The judgment was announced in open court before the parties, bringing the matter to a close.
