$~ * IN THE HIGH COURT OF DELHI AT NEW DELHI33. + ITA 115/2016 PR. COMMISSIONER OF INCOME TAX-4 ..... Appellant Through: Ms. Vibhooti Malhotra, Advocate. versus INDRAPRASTHA GAS LIMITED ..... Respondent CORAM:JUSTICE S.MURALIDHAR JUSTICE VIBHU BAKHRU O R D E R % 01.02.2016 -CM No.3680 of 2016 (delay in refiling the appeal) & ITA No. 115 of 2016 1. There is a delay of 1247 days in re-filing the appeal. The explanation offered is the standard one regarding the practice directions issued by this Court for e-filing of the appeals. As has already been observed by this Court in several orders, the practice directions were issued after consultation with the bar and after giving sufficient time for the bar to get acquainted with the requirement of e-filing. Additionally, the Court has also provided scanning machines at the filing counter so that no difficulty is caused to the bar for switching over to the system of e-filing. In any event, the delay of three and ITA No.115/2016 page 1 of 2 a half years on this ground is wholly unacceptable. Consequently, the Court is not persuaded to condone the extraordinary delay of 1247 days in re-filing the appeal. 2. The application is dismissed. 3. The appeal is accordingly dismissed on grounds of extraordinary delay of 1247 days in re-filing the appeal. S.MURALIDHAR, J FEBRUARY 01, 2016/mg VIBHU BAKHRU, J ITA No.115/2016
