If you want to appeal a decision, direction, or order under section 147ZA, you need to do it within a certain time. You have 20 working days from when you were told about or given the decision, direction, or order. If you need more time, you can ask the District Court. You can ask for more time before or after the 20 working days are up. The District Court can give you more time if they think it's okay.
