Facts:
The Appellant filed appeal before Commissioner Appeals in time. However, on defects being pointed out by the office of Commissioner (Appeals), the appeal was filed afresh removing those defects, which led to 10 days delay. The Appellant did not file any application for condonation of delay. The Commissioner (Appeals) dismissed the appeal on the ground of limitation.
Held:
Tribunal held that, since there was no delay in filing the original appeal and the new appeal was filed only to remove the defects pointed by office of Commissioner (Appeals) there cannot be said to be delay and matter was remanded to Commissioner (Appeals) for adjudication on merit.
