..... party. Unless and until a party to the appeal is in a position to go through and study the order, the party cannot claim to be aggrieved by the mistake apparent from the records. Attention also stands drawn to the Hon'ble Supreme Court decision in the case of Sunitadevi Singhania Hospital Trust V/s Union of India reported as 2009 (233) E.L.T. 295 (S.C.) observing that though statutory limitation is to be observed but Tribunal failed to notice that it has inherent powers of recalling its order if sufficient cause shown, limitation is not attracted for rectifying mistake to do justice.

The appellants have not bothered to find out the outcome of the decision of R.O.M. for a period of 17 years and have subsequently procured a copy of the same in the year 2017 though no specific date stands provided by them. It is further noticed that providing of a copy of the order by the Registry at the request of the assessee itself cannot be considered to be a date of receipt of the order by the assessee.

Inasmuch as the present application prays for recall of the earlier miscellaneous order passed on the earlier ROM application, by following the above referred decision we hold that the same is not maintainable. In any case and in any view of the matter, we have gone through the miscellaneous application seeking rectification in the earlier order, we note that apart from making a bald request to recall the earlier order, no sufficient reasons stand given by the applicant for the same. The prayer seems to be related to confiscation and p .....
