By this Notice of Motion, the Appellant is seeking condonation of 503 days’ delay caused in filing the Appeal. Perused the affidavit-in-support of the Notice of Motion. It appears that though the draft memo of Appeal was ready on 17.10.2006 the Appeal came to be filed only on 09.08.2007. We are not satisfied with the reasons given for condonation of delay. The reasons that the Court fee stamps were not available 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, Income Tax Appeal (L) No.1821/2007 also stands dismissed. (J.P.DEVADHAR, J.) (DR.S.RADHAKRISHNAN,J.)
