Vs. M/s. Yashraj Films. ..Respondent. Mr. B.M.Chatterji with Ms.P.P. Bhosale and Mr.P.S.Sahadevan for the Appellant. Mr.A.K. Jasani for the Respondent. CORAM : F.I. REBELLO & R.S. MOHITE, JJ. DATED : 12TH FEBRUARY,2008. PC : 1. This is a notice of motion for condonation of 563 days delay in filing the appeal. On perusal of the affidavit in support indicates that the order of the tribunal dated 8,.11.2004 was received by the department on 3.1.2005. The appeal was required to be filed on or before 3.5.2006. However, the appeal was filed on 17.11.2006. In our view, the delay for more than one year and six months for drafting the appeal memo cannot be said to be reasonable. The cause shown does not amount to sufficient cause and hence, notice of motion stands dismissed. INCOME TAX APPEAL LODG. NO.2404 OF 2006 2. As the motion for condonation of delay is dismissed, appeal is also dismissed. (R.S. MOHITE, J.) (F.I. REBELLO, J.)
