All these are quite contingent and therefore, care should be taken to ensure timely filing of appeal or for that matter any document required to be filed within a limited period.
    This can also be considered as negligence of CA and if a client want to bring a suit against him, he can do so. So we must be more careful. It is always advisable to file appeal well within time so that in case of any technical defect the same can be rectified as soon as it is pointed out in a manner that even time taken to remove defect is available because the appeal was filed before the last date.
