Commissioner Of Income-Tax vs D. Lakshminarayanaswamy on 24 December, 1997
9. We have heard both sides, perused the materials available on record
and the case law relied on by the counsels. The Commissioner of Income
Tax (Appeals) dismissed the appeal of the assessee as not maintainable on
the ground that the assessee had already approached the Commissioner of
Income Tax by way of a revision petition under section 264 and therefore
since the assessee had approached the Commissioner of Income Tax under
6 I.T.A. No.631

section 264, an appeal will not lie before the Commissioner of Income Tax
(Appeals). The Hon'ble Jurisdictional High Court in the case of CIT v. D.
Lakshminarayanapathi (supra) held that the Tribunal has rightly held that the
assessee notwithstanding his unsuccessful effort at having the order revised
could still file an appeal before the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals).
Invoking the revisional jurisdiction could not constitute a bar in filling an
appeal before the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) and it is for the
legislature to impose such a bar if it consider necessary to do so.
Respectfully following the Hon'ble Jurisdictional High Court's decision, we
hold that the appeal filed by the assessee is maintainable though the
assessee chose to file revision petition before the Commissioner of Income
Tax under section 264 and could not succeed before him.

Messrs Mela Ram & Sons vs The Commissioner Of Income-Tax,Punjab on 21 February, 1956
10. Coming to the contentions of the counsel for the Revenue that an
appeal dismissed in limine by the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals)
under section 249(3) without condoning the delay and admitting the appeal
is not an order passed under section 250 and therefore not appealable
before this Tribunal, we are not inclined to accept this contention. The
Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Mela Ram & Sons v. CIT [29 ITR
607], the Apex Court held that an order passed by Appellate Assistant
Commissioner holding that there was no sufficient reason for excusing the
delay under section 30(2) of Income Tax Act 1922 [corresponding to section
7 I.T.A. No.631
No.631 & 632/M/
632/M/12
/M/12
249(3) of Income Tax Act 1961] and rejecting the appeal as time barred is
an order passed under section 31 of Income Tax Act 1922 [corresponding to
section 250 of Income Tax Act, 1961] and therefore an appeal lies through
that order to the Appellate Tribunal. The Hon'ble Apex Court further held that
it makes no difference whether the order of dismissal is made before or after
the appeal is admitted.

State Of Tamil Nadu And Ors. vs P.M. Madhavan Nair And Ors. on 31 March, 1981
In the case of State of Tamil Nadu & Ors. v. P.M.
Madhavan Nair & Ors [49 STC 244] and The State of Tamil Nadu v. Singhi
Traders [57 STC 209], the Hon'ble Madras High Court held that an appeal
lies to the Tribunal against the first appellate authority's order rejecting the
condonation of delay in filing the first appeal. In the circumstances, we hold
that the appeal filed by the assessee before this Tribunal is maintainable.
