According to the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) Rules, 2001, Rule 35(1)(a) specifies the period of limitation for appeals. It states that “No appeal under these rules shall be entertained unless it is submitted within a period of thirty days from the date on which a copy of the order appealed against is delivered to the appellant”. This aligns with option C.
Specific rules governing the functioning and internal administration of armed forces like CISF contain detailed procedures, including timelines for appeals against disciplinary or other orders.
The rules also provide for the appellate authority to entertain an appeal after the expiry of the specified period if it is satisfied that the appellant had sufficient cause for not submitting the appeal in time, but this is under exceptional circumstances, not “under normal circumstances” as specified in the question.
