Judgment :- Mr. P. Wilson, the learned Assistant Solicitor General, takes notice for the respondents. 2. With the consent of the learned counsels appearing on either side, the writ petition is taken up for final disposal. 3. At the time of the hearing of the writ petition, it is pointed out by the learned Assistant Solicitor General, appearing on behalf of the respondents that it is open to the petitioner to file an appeal against the impugned order of the first respondent, dated 05.01.2007, made in proceedings C3/711/R/06-SEA. 4. However, it is pointed out by the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner that the appeal ought to have been filed within three months from the date of the communication of the said order and it is further submitted that since the impugned order, dated 05.01.2007 has been received by the petitioner, on 25.01.2007, the three months period for filing the appeal, under Section 129(A) of The Customs Act, 1962, has already lapsed. 5. On such submissions being made by the learned counsels appearing on either side, the writ petition is disposed of, permitting the petitioner to file an appeal before the Customs, Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal, within four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. On receipt of such application, the appellate Tribunal is expected to dispose of the appeal, on merits and in accordance with law, not later than six months from the date of filing of such appeal. No costs.
