Revenue filed appeal against the order of Tribunal in which it was held that there was no delay in filing of e-appeal since the date of filing of belated e-appeal relates back to the date of filing of manual appeal and thus, the appeals need not have been rejected by the CIT(A) on the ground that they were not e-filed within the period of limitation.
