This is a notice of motion for condonation of 449 days delay in filing the appeal. On perusal of the affidavit in support indicates that the last date for filing the appeal was 13.7.2004. The file was sent to the Ministry of Law for drafting the appeal on 10.6.2004 and the draft was received on or around 28.3.2005. In our view the period of nine months for drafting the appeal memo cannot be said to be reasonable. Cause shown therefore does not amount to sufficient cause and hence, motion dismissed. INCOME TAX APPEAL LODGING NO.1086 OF 2005 1. As the motion for condonation of delay is dismissed, appeal is also dismissed. (R.S. MOHITE, J.) (F.I. REBELLO, J.)
