Petition dismissed: appeal barred as filed beyond maximum condonable period; Article 226 cannot override statutory limitation rules
Case-Laws
GST
The HC dismissed the petition challenging the order refusing to entertain an appeal, holding the appeal was instituted beyond the maximum condonable period and no non-communication of the Order-in-Original was established. The court found the reasons for delay insufficient and concluded the appeal exceeded the statutory extended limitation period, precluding further condonation. Exercising jurisdiction under Article 226 could not subvert the legislative scheme embodied in the statutory limitation framework (including the prescribed condonable period), and the petitioner's arguable merits could not cure the jurisdictional bar. Consequently, the petition was dismissed and the impugned order declining to admit the appeal was upheld.
