% 30.01.2017 C.M. APPL.48246/2016 IN ITA 950/2016 C.M. APPL.48247/2016 IN ITA 951/2016, Both the appeals are inordinately delayed by 1044 days. The Revenue's explanation, as part of its application for condonation of delay is not only unconvincing but utterly untenable. It states that the pendency of a large number of appeals, administrative difficulties by reason of manpower inadequancy and the changes in the panel of its counsel led to the delay in refiling. These are not "sufficient causes" to persuade the Court to condone the delay. The applications are accordingly dismissed.

ITA 950/2016, C.M. APPL.48245/2016 ITA 951/2016 In view of the orders made in C.M.Appl.48246/2016 (in ITA 950/2016) and C.M. Appl.48247/2016 (in ITA 951/2016), the appeals are dismissed.
