By this Notice of Motion, the Appellant is seeking condonation of 514 days delay caused in filing the Appeal. 2. Perused the affidavit-in-support of the Notice of Motion. It appears that though the last date for 2 filing the Appeal was 26.6.2006 and the Commissioner of Income Tax had granted approval for filing an Appeal on 28.11.2006 the Appeal came to be lodged belatedly on 3.3.2008 i.e. after the lapse of one year and six months. 3. We are not satisfied with the reasons given for delay that of getting the draft memo of Appeal prepared and non-availability of Court fee stamps. 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.
