SANTOSH BORA, JJ. SANTOSH BORA, JJ. DATED : 17TH APRIL, 2008 DATED : 17TH APRIL, 2008 DATED : 17TH APRIL, 2008 P.C.: 1. Heard the learned counsel for the parties. By this Notice of Motion, the Appellant is seeking condonation of 517 days’ delay caused in filing the Appeal. 2. Perused the affidavit-in-support of the Notice of Motion. It appears that though the 2 Commissioner of Income Tax had granted approval for filing an Appeal on 11.08.06, the Appeal came to be filed belatedly on 08.02.08 i.e. after a lapse of 18 months. 3. We are not satisfied with the reasons given for condonation of delay. The reason given for delay that of getting the draft memo of Appeal prepared does not appear to be justifiable. No sufficient cause is made out for condonation of delay. Hence, Notice of Motion stands dismissed. 4. In view of the dismissal of the Notice of Motion, Income Tax Appeal (L) No.381 of 2008 also stands dismissed. (DR.S.RADHAKRISHNAN, J.) (DR.S.RADHAKRISHNAN, J.) (DR.S.RADHAKRISHNAN, J.)
