1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY ORDINARY ORIGINAL CIVIL JURISDICTION NOTICE OF MOTION NO.2588 OF 2006 IN INCOME TAX APPEAL(L)NO.1610 OF 2005 The Commissioner of Income tax ..Appellant Mumbai V/s. Reliance Industries Ltd. ..Respondent Ms.Poonam Bhosale, Mr.B.M.Chatterji and Mr.P.S.Sahadevan, Advocate, for Appellant Mr.Raj Darak, Advocate, for Respondent CORAM : F.I.REBELLO & R.S.MOHITE,JJ. DATE : 4TH FEBRUARY, 2008 P.C. . This is a Notice of Motion for condoning a delay of 601 days in filing of the main appeal. The Notice of Motion has been carelessly drafted and the number of days of delay is not even mentioned. Perusal of the affidavit indicates that the file was sent to the Law Ministry for drafting an appeal memo on 6th April, 2004 and the draft memo of appeal was received on 20th October, 2005. A period of one year and six months for 2 drafting the appeal memo cannot be said to be reasonable. In our view, the cause shown does not amount to sufficient cause. Hence, the Notice of Motion stands dismissed. (R.S.MOHITE, J.) (F.I.REBELLO, J.)
