ORDER
An order in original dated 20.12.2025 was challenged by the petitioner by lodging a statutory appeal on 13.06.2026. The appellate order rejecting the appeal on the ground of delay is challenged in this writ petition.
2. Mr. R. Sethu Prabakaran, learned Government Advocate (Tax), accepts notice for the respondents.
3. The record shows that the appeal was filed beyond the condonable period. Therefore, there is no infirmity in the order rejecting the appeal. By leaving it open to the petitioner to challenge the original order in accordance with law, the writ petition is disposed of. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petitions are closed. There shall be no order as to costs. 30-09-2026 Index: Yes/No Neutral Citation: Yes/No KJ
