DATE : 17th November, 2008 DATE : 17th November, 2008 DATE : 17th November, 2008 P.C. P.C. P.C. 1. Heard the learned Counsel for the Appellant. By this Notice of Motion, the Appellant is seeking condonation of 628 days’ delay caused in filing the Appeal. Perused the affidavit-in-support of the Notice of Motion. The Appeal is against the ITAT’s order dated 20.1.2006. It appears that though the Chief CIT had granted approval for filing Appeal on 20.3.2006 the Appeal came to be filed belatedly on 4.3.2008. We are not satisfied with the reasons given for condonation of delay. The reasons given for delay that of getting the draft memo of Appeal prepared and the other reasons beyond the control of the Appellant’s office including the procedural red tape in Government functioning etc., does not appear to be justifiable. No sufficient cause is made out for condonation of delay. Hence, Notice of Motion stands dismissed. 2. In view of dismissal of the Notice of Motion, Wealth Tax Appeal (L) No.674/2008 also stands dismissed. (V.C.DAGA,J.) (DR.S.RADHAKRISHNAN,J.) (V.C.DAGA,J.) (DR.S.RADHAKRISHNAN,J.) (V.C.DAGA,J.)
