Page3 of 5 For Petitioner(s): in all WP's Mr.R Anish Kumar For Respondent(s): in all WP's Ms.Amirta Poonkodi Dinakaran, Government Counsel (Tax) ************* COMMON ORDER In these writ petitions, appellate orders rejecting the appeals on the ground of limitation are challenged. In W.P.No.24378 of 2026, the order in original was issued on 12.12.2025 and the appeal was lodged on 23.03.2026, which is beyond the condonable period. The situation in the other two writ petitions is substantially similar in as much as the appeals were lodged beyond the condonable period.

¶2Ms.Amirta Poonkodi Dinakaran, learned Government Counsel (Tax), accepts notice for the respondent.

¶3Because the appeals were admittedly lodged beyond the condonable period, I find no infirmity in the appellate orders rejecting the appeals. Page4 of 5 Therefore, these writ petitions are disposed of by granting leave to the petitioner to assail the orders in original. There shall be no order as to costs. 07-07-2026 Index: Yes/No Speaking/Non-speaking order RNA To The Appellate Deputy Commissioner (Appeals) Commercial Taxes Building, 1st Floor, Dr.Balasundaram Road, Coimbatore-641 018.
