ORDER

Heard both sides.

2.

The writ petitioner suffered an adverse assessment order. The petitioner filed an appeal belatedly, but within the condonable period. The appeal was dismissed as belated. Challenging the same, this writ petition has been filed. Since the delay is marginal and it is also within the condonable period, I am inclined to set aside the same. The petitioner also states that they would remit a further 10% of the disputed tax amount. On such remittance of 2/5

further 10% of the disputed tax amount, the appellate authority shall number the appeal and give a disposal on merits in accordance with law. The attachment made on the petitioner's bank account shall be lifted after the said further 10% disputed tax amount is remitted.

3.Accordingly, this writ petition is allowed. No costs. Consequently, the connected miscellaneous petitions stand closed. 29-05-2026 Index: Yes/No Speaking/Non-speaking order AY/NSD Note: Registry is directed to issue order copy on 01.06.2026. To
