AKHB editorial analysis, distinct from the Court’s findings. Subsequent treatment and current-law applicability have not been verified.

Service directions do not cure the defective appeal

The Court ordered notice and one-week steps, with personal dasti service additional to normal service. Nothing in the order condones delay, removes a filing defect or admits a stated question of law. The defective appeal’s procedural status must therefore remain distinct from any later admission.

Respondent numbering requires care

The operative paragraphs specify respondent No.2 while the caption names the Authority alone. For compliance, the underlying cause title and process documents are necessary to identify the intended recipient; the discrepancy is not a basis to invent a second party. The order also supplies no exemption issue or assessment year.
