2.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the only grievance of the petitioner is that the appeal filed HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC-K:7742 by the petitioner under Section 107 (11) of the CGST & KGST Act, 2017 has been dismissed solely on the ground of there being delay of 45 days which is beyond the prescribed period of 120 days. He also submits that under similar circumstances, the Co-ordinate Bench of this Court in Writ Petition No.200569 of 2025 dated 28.02.2025 [M/s.
