18. Let the appeal be filed by the petitioner by 25th December, 2025. If the appeals are filed within the said time period, the same shall be considered on merits and shall not be dismissed on the ground of delay."

As such, the appeal was required to be filed by the petitioners by 25th December, 2025, however, in view of the portal not having an appropriate head for accepting the appeal without quoting the GST number, a decision was required to be taken at the end of the respondent thereby providing not only the facilities of accepting the appeal but also by carrying out appropriate changes in the portal in the matter of acceptance of appeal. 3.
