% 27.03.2017 The present appeal under Section 260A of the Income Tax Act is highly belated - by 1245 days. There is hardly any explanation for the delay. The appeal was filed on 04.09.2013 but appears to have been kept objected to. The Income Tax Department does not seem to have any clue about the filing of the appeal or the objections raised by the registry. It refers to the re-organisation of its panel of counsel and cites the pendency of a large number of appeals marked as defective. The reasons can hardly be considered sufficient cause to condone the delay.

The application and the appeal are accordingly dismissed. S. RAVINDRA BHAT, J NAJMI WAZIRI, J MARCH 27, 2017 /vikas/
