1. This is a motion for condoning 358 days delay in
filing of the main appeal. On perusal of the
affidavit-in-support, we find that the Chief
Commissioner of Income-tax granted his approval for
filing appeal on 19.1.2006 and thereafter matter was
sent for drafting to the Panel Counsel on 25.1.2006.
Appeal memo was received duly drafted on 13.11.2006.
A period of about 10 months for drafting appeal memo
cannot be said to be reasonable. In our view, cause
shown does not amount to sufficient cause. Hence
motion dismissed.
INCOME TAX APPEAL (L) NO.571 OF 2007
. As the motion for condoning delay is dismissed,
appeal also stands dismissed.
