By this Notice of Motion, the Appellant is seeking condonation of 751 days’ delay caused in filing the Appeal. Perused the affidavit-in-support of the Notice of Motion. We are not satisfied with the reasons given for condonation of delay. The reasons given for delay that of getting the draft memo of Appeal prepared, shortage of stamp papers, the administrative difficulties and other reasons beyond the control of the Appellant’s office etc.does not appear to be justifiable. Though the Chief CIT had granted approval on 7.3.2006 the Appeal came to be filed belatedly on 17.4.2008. No sufficient cause is made out for condonation of delay. Hence, the Notice of Motion stands dismissed. 2. In view of dismissal of the Notice of Motion, Income Tax Appeal (L) No.1177/2008 also stands dismissed. (S.J.KATHAWALLA, J.) (DR.S.RADHAKRISHNAN,J.)
