Order passed will have no effect in the eyes of law, unless digital signature is put by the issuing authority


Quick Summary
The Bombay High Court has ruled that any order issued without a digital signature by the issuing authority is legally invalid. Consequently, the time limit for filing an appeal against such an order will only commence from the date the order is properly authenticated with a digital signature. This decision quashes the previous order and directs the authorities to reconsider the appeal on its merits.
