IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY ORDINARY ORIGINAL CIVIL JURISDICTION NOTICE OF MOTION NO.2845 OF 2007 IN INCOME TAX APPEAL (L) NO.871 OF 2007 Commissioner of Income-tax- ..Appellant Versus M/s.Sandoz Textiles & Trading Ltd...Respondent ---- Vimal Gupta & P.S.Sahadevan for the appellant. ---- Coram : F.I.Rebello & Coram : F.I.Rebello & Coram : F.I.Rebello & R.S.Mohite,JJ R.S.Mohite,JJ R.S.Mohite,JJ Date : 20.02.2008 PC 1. This is a motion for condoning 269 days delay in filing of the main appeal as pointed out by the Advocate. The delay is actually 624 days and has been wrongly calculated. A perusal of the affidavit-in-support indicates that the last date for filing appeal was 4.8.2005 but the same was actually filed on 30.4.2007. The file was sent for preparing draft to the Ministry of Law on 8.8.2005 but the draft was ultimately received on 19.2.2007. A period of over one year and 4 months for drafting appeal memo cannot be said to be reasonable. In our view, therefore, cause shown does not amount to sufficient cause. Hence motion dismissed. INCOME TAX APPEAL (L) NO.871 OF 2007 . As the motion for condoning delay is dismissed, appeal also stands dismissed.
