Revenue is seeking condonation of delay of about 401 days delay in filing the appeal. Affidavit in support of notice of motion is filed. However, the prayer for condonation of delay is strongly opposed by the learned counsel for the respondent.

No material is placed on record to satisfactorily explain the delay. No sufficient case is made out to condone the delay. Under these circumstances, we have no hesitation to dismiss the Notice of Motion. 2.Needless to mention that in view of the dismissal of the Notice of Motion, the appeal papers be consigned to record.
