PC : 1. This is a notice of motion for condonation of 651 days delay in preferring the main appeal. On perusal of the affidavit in support we find that the file was sent to the Ministry of Law for drafting the appeal memo on 21.5.2004 and the draft was received on 30.11.2005. The period of about one year and six months for drafting the appeal cannot be said to be reasonable. In our view, the cause shown does not amount to sufficient cause. Hence, notice of motion stands dismissed. INCOME TAX APPEAL LODGING NO.194 OF 2006 1. As the motion for condonation of delay is dismissed, appeal is also dismissed. (R.S. MOHITE, J.)
