This is a motion for condoning 424 days delay in filing of the main appeal. A perusal of the affidavit-in-support indicates that the matter was sent for drafting appeal memo to the Panel Counsel on 8.12.2005 and the Advocate to whom it was sent did not draft and therefore, it was sent to another Panel Counsel on 10.7.2006. The appeal memo was finally received duly drafted on 13.11.2006. A period of more than 11 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.599 OF 2007 . As the motion for condoning delay is dismissed, appeal also stands dismissed. (R.S.Mohite,J) (F.I.Rebello,J) (R.S.Mohite,J) (F.I.Rebello,J) (R.S.Mohite,J) (F.I.Rebello,J)
