J.P.DEVADHAR, JJ. DATED : 8TH SEPTEMBER, 2006. DATED : 8TH SEPTEMBER, 2006. DATED : 8TH SEPTEMBER, 2006. P.C. :- P.C. :- P.C. :- Heard Mr. Rao in support of this Notice of Motion. Motion seeks condonation of delay of 983 days. Hardly any explanation has been given in the supporting affidavit, except that staff concerned was involved in other work also. That cannot be a satisfactory explanation for such huge delay. Mr.Rao very fairly pointed out that in the case of the same assessee, Motions seeking condonation of delay with respect to other assessment years have been rejected. One such Motion is bearing Notice of Motion No.2906 of 1996. In view thereof, there is no reason to entertain this Motion and the same is dismissed. Consequently, the Wealth Tax Application is also dismissed. (H.L.GOKHALE, J.) (H.L.GOKHALE, J.) (H.L.GOKHALE, J.) (J.P.DEVADHAR, J.) (J.P.DEVADHAR, J.) (J.P.DEVADHAR, J.)
