2015 (5) TMI 793 - HC - Income TaxCondonation of delay - Held that:- In the case before us a final opinion on the question is not essential because the appeal, in this case filed in the year 2010, was a still born appeal because it was barred by limitation. The appellant did not even serve a copy of the application under Section 5 of the Limitation Act for condonation of delay. The matter appeared before us as indicated earlier on 9th April, 2015. Till then no steps were taken. The appellant as a matter of fact woke up after Mr. Mazumder was requested by this Court on 9th April, 2015 to give a notice to the learned Advocate for the appellant. Thereafter, copy of the application for condonation has been served upon him. We have considered the grounds for condonation. The ground in substance is that the appellant did not pursue the matter seriously. There is no allegation far less any proof of the fact that the appellant was prevented by any cause far less sufficient cause from preferring the appeal within the prescribed period of limitation. There is as such no reason why the delay should be condoned. The application for condonation of delay is therefore dismissed. - Decided against assesse.
