The petitioner, aggrievedby Ext.P10 assessment order, wants to file an appeal. The petitionerseeks for the following relief: To issue a writ in the nature of mandamus or any otherappropriate writ or order directing the 2[nd] respondent toadmit the appeal if filed by the petitioner, within a timeframe fixed by this Hon'ble court, without considering thedelay. I am of the view that, if there is a delay, it is for the petitioner tosatisfy the Appellate Authority, the reason for condonation of delay. If suchan application is filed before the appellate authority, certainly, theAppellate Authority will consider the same in accordance with law. In view of the above, I do not find any reason to issue a writ ofmandamus to the Authority. The writ petition is, therefore, disposed of. ln Sd/- A.MUHAMED MUSTAQUE, JUDGE
