This is a Motion for condoning 1253 days delay in filing the appeal. A perusal of the affidavit-in-support, indicates that the Chief CIT granted approval for filing appeal on 25.3.2004 and thereafter the file was sent to the law ministry for drafting appeal memo. Ultimately appeal memo was received duly drafted on 12.03.2007. A period of almost 3 years 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.2537 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)
