Even if the time period of the punishment has expired , the appeal would be maintainable since it is filed within the prescribed time limit. The time period within which the appeal should be heard depnds upon the respective rules or act under which the appeal is filed . But however, delay in hearing the appeal after the prescribed period will not make the appeal illegal or improper.
