Perused the affidavit-in-support of the Notice of Motion. It appears that though the last date for filing the Appeal was 14.04.2005 and the Commissioner of Income Tax had granted approval for filing an Appeal 2 on 07.04.2005 the Appeal came to be filed belatedly on 27.02.2008 i.e. after the lapse of 1049 days. The only reason given is that the delay occurred due to various administrative steps involved in filing the above appeal. 3. We are not satisfied with the above reasoning. No sufficient cause is made out for condonation of delay. Hence, Notice of Motion stands dismissed. 4. In view of the dismissal of the notice of motion, the appeal also stands dismissed. (DR. S.
