Occupier of any factory aggrieved by an order made by Inspector-cum-Facilitator or the Chief Inspector-cum-Facilitator may, within thirty days from the date on which the order is communicated to him, make an appeal, setting forth concisely the grounds of objection to the order and bearing Court-Fees stamp in accordance with Article 11 of Schedule II to the Court Fees Act, 1870, and shall be accompanied by a copy of the order appealed against, to the Labour Commissioner who shall, after giving an opportunity of being heard to both the parties dispose of the appeal as expeditiously as possible:

Provided that the Appellate Authority may entertain the appeal after the expiry of the said period if he is satisfied that the appellant was prevented by sufficient cause from filing the appeal in time.
