This Writ Petition is disposed of at the time of admission after hearing the learned counsel for the Petitioner and the learned Government Advocate for the Respondents by quashing the impugned order dated 24.03.2025 passed by the 1st Respondent rejecting the Petitioner's appeal on the ground that the Petitioner had not filed the appeal with an application for condoning the delay. 3. It is noticed that the Petitioner has suffered an adverse assessment order dated 12.04.2024 against which the Petitioner has filed an appeal on 23.07.2024 before the 1st Respondent. However, while filing the appeal the Petitioner has not filed an application for condoning the delay by filing an appeal. ____________ Page No. 2 of 5 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis W.P.No.38396 of 2025 4. The learned counsel for the Petitioner submits that post facto the Petitioner has also manually filed the same i.e., on 10.12.2024 which was not within the prescribed time. 5. Since the Petitioner may have a case on merits, I am inclined to quash the impugned order dated 24.03.2025 passed by the 1st Respondent and remit the case back to the 1st Respondent to pass a fresh order as expeditiously as possible. However, the Petitioner shall upload a formal copy of a application for condonation of the delay. 6. This Writ Petition stands disposed of. No costs. Consequently, connected Writ Miscellaneous Petitions are closed. 09.10.2025 Neutral Citation : Yes / No jas ____________ Page No. 3 of 5 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis W.P.No.38396 of 2025 To 1.The Deputy Commissioner (CT), GST Appeal, Erode. 2.The Assistant Commissioner (ST), Palladam – I Assessment Circle, Palladam, Tiruppur. ____________ Page No. 4 of 5 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis W.P.No.38396 of 2025 C.SARAVANAN, J. jas W.P.No.38396 of 2025 and W.M.P.Nos.42925 and 42927 of 2025 09.10.2025 ____________ Page No. 5 of 5 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis
