Tarun Agarwala, Presiding Officer
The appellant is aggrieved by the order dated May 22, 2019. There is a delay in the filing of the appeal and accordingly an application has been filed for condonation of the delay. It has been stated that the appellant met with an accident as a result there was an injury in his spine and was confined to bed rest for six months and therefore could not file the appeal.
Having heard the learned counsel for the appellant, we are satisfied that sufficient cause has been made out to condone the delay. We accordingly condone the delay. Misc. Application is allowed.
Having heard the learned counsel for the parties, we find that the controversy involved in the present case is squarely covered by the judgment of this Tribunal in the case of Jigna Vipul Vora vs. SEBI and other connected appeals (Appeal No. 93 of 2020 decided on March 4, 2020). In view of the aforesaid, the impugned order in so far as it relates to the appellant cannot be sustained and is quashed. The matter is remitted to the Adjudicating Officer to decide afresh in accordance with law.
