DATED : 12TH FEBRUARY,2008. PC : 1. This is a notice of motion for condonation of 1001 days delay in filing the appeal. On perusal of the affidavit in support indicates that approval for filing the appeal was accorded on 30.9.2003. The matter was sent for drafting the Appeal on 7.10.2003. The appeal was filed on 1.9.2006. In our view, the delay for more than two years and nine months for drafting the appeal memo cannot be said to be reasonable. The cause shown does not amount to sufficient cause and hence, notice of motion stands dismissed. INCOME TAX APPEAL LODG. NO.1689 OF 2006 2. As the motion for condonation of delay is dismissed, appeal is also dismissed. (R.S. MOHITE, J.) (F.I. REBELLO, J.)
