We find no reason to interfere with the order passed by the Sales Tax Appellate Tribunal. After taking note of the contentions of the assessee, it is specifically stated by the Tribunal itself that the petitioner, in spite of several notices, did not responded to it. Now, the petitioner has come up with a delay of more than 607 days in filing this revision and it is only to evade the recovery of tax. Therefore, we do not find any reasonable ground to condone the delay. Hence, the delay condonation application is dismissed and as a consequence of which the S.T. Rev. case is also dismissed. K.S. RADHAKRISHNAN, (AG. CHIEF JUSTICE). M.N. KRISHNAN, JUDGE. ul/-
