1 nma-2309.10 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY ORDINARY ORIGINAL CIVIL JURISDICTION NOTICE OF MOTION NO. 2309 OF 2010 IN CENTRAL EXCISE APPEAL (LDG.) NO. 70 OF 2008 The Commissioner of Central Excise New Panvel. ... Appellant. V/s. M/s.Laminar Industries. ... Respondent. R.B.Pardeshi for the appellant. Ms.Aparna Hirandagi i/b. Ms.Padmavati Patil for the respondent. CORAM : V.C.DAGA AND R.M.SAVANT, JJ. DATED : 21st September 2010. P.C. : Heard learned counsel for the appellant- Revenue and learned counsel for the respondent. 2. The appeal was dismissed for non-removal of office objections. Now motion is taken out for restoration of the appeal after delay of 452 days for which no explanation is given. Whatever explanation given does not make out sufficient cause for condonation of delay. The 2 nma-2309.10 negligence on the part of the Revenue is writ large. This is not an isolated matter wherein Revenue is negligent, but number of matter are lying in the registry for years together. In spite of putting the Revenue on notice, no step have been taken to improve the working of the department. This Court cannot show repeated indulgence in favour of the Revenue. In the circumstances, we are constrained to reject the prayer for condonation of delay. 3. In the result, notice of motion is dismissed with no order as to costs. (R.M.SAVANT, J.) (V.C.DAGA J.)
