We presume content of the application filed by the assessee is correct despite of the fact that the condonation petition was not supported with the corroborative evidences for shifting employment from Ahmedabad to Pune - in the interest of justice and fair play we impose the cost upon the assessee for ₹ 5000/- for not presenting the appeal within the prescribed time. Accordingly, the assessee is directed to deposit cost of ₹ 5000/- in the Income Tax Office.
