These are the motions for condoning 737 days delay in filing of the main appeals. On perusal of the affidavit-in-support, we find that the file was sent to the ministry of law for drafting appeal memo on 18.4.2005 and the draft appeal was received on 28.10.2006. A period of more than 1 year & 5 months for drafting appeal memo cannot be said to be reasonable. In our view, the cause shown does not amount to sufficient cause. Hence motions dismissed. (1) INCOME TAX APPEAL (L) NO.779 OF 2007 (2) INCOME TAX APPEAL (L) NO.784 OF 2007 . As the motions for condoning delay are dismissed, appeals also stand dismissed.
