On perusing the affidavit in support of the motion, it is seen that the Chief Commissioner of Income Tax has granted the approval for filing the appeal on 27.9.2006 and thereafter docket was issued in favour of the standing counsel for the department, for preparing the appeal memo. The draft of the appeal was however, received in the third week of June, 2008. In our view, the delay caused between the period from 27.9.2006 to June, 2008 is not properly or sufficiently explained. Sufficient cause is not therefore shown for condoning the delay. Hence, Notice of motion stands dismissed. Appeal consequently dismissed. Refund of court fee as per rules. (R.S. MOHITE, J.) (F.I. REBELLO, J.)
