Murlidhar i/by Rajesh Shah & Co. for the Respondent. CORAM : F.I. REBELLO & R.S. MOHITE, JJ. DATE : 05th January, 2009. PC : 1. This is a notice of motion for condonation of 815 days delay in filing the main appeal. On perusing the affidavit in support of the motion, it is seen that the file was sent to the Law Ministry on 3.8.2005 for drafting the appeal but it was returned without drafting the appeal on 11.5.2006. It is vaguely stated that during this period of about nine months there were administrative problems between the Law Ministry and the Income Tax Department. The file was again sent for redrafting on or around 11.5.2006. Even then draft was not prepared till 15.10.2007. Appeal was ultimately filed on 29.10.2007. In our view, sufficient cause is not shown for condonation of delay. In the circumstances, Notice of motion is dismissed. Consequently appeal dismissed. Refund of court fee as per rules. (R.S. MOHITE, J.) (F.I. REBELLO, J.)
