Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the appellants could not claim exclusion of time for obtaining a certified copy of the order dated 13.04.92, as the order was served on them on 20.04.92. The Court emphasized that the time taken to obtain a certified copy does not affect the timeline for filing an appeal, leading to the dismissal of the appeal as time barred on 19.10.95. Thus, the Court upheld the Tribunal's decision regarding the dismissal of the appeal.
