IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY

ORDINARY ORIGINAL CIVIL JURISDICTION NOTICE OF MOTION NO. 1846 OF 2016 IN INCOME TAX APPEAL (L) NO.1027 OF 2015 WITH NOTICE OF MOTION NO. 1847 OF 2016 IN INCOME TAX APPEAL (L) NO.1028 OF 2015 Prashant Arun Sangai .. Applicant In the matter between Prashant Arun Sangai .. Appellant v/s.

The Commissioner of Income Tax-I, (Central) Nashik .. Respondent Ms. Aswini Surendran i/b Ashok T. Gade for the applicant Mr. Sham Walve for the respondent CORAM : M.S. SANKLECHA & A.K. MENON, J.J.

DATED : 22nd JULY, 2016.

P.C.

1.

Both these Notices of Motion seek quashing of the order dated 17th December, 2015 passed by the Prothonotary and Senior Master under Rule 986 of the Bombay High Court (O.S.) Rules rejecting the two appeals for non removal of office objections. 2.

There was 8 days delay in the appellant filing both the appeals from the orders of the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal. Consequently, the appellant took out the Notices of Motion in both the appeals. By Uday S. Jagtap

1846-16-nma-c=.doc order dated 18th December, 2015 Motions in both the appeals were allowed. However, in the meantime, on 17th December, 2015, the impugned order was passed by the Prothonotary and Senior Master rejecting the appeals by a conditional order calling upon the appellant to remove the office objections within two weeks. The appellant bonafide believed that since the notices of motion were allowed, there was nothing further to be done. Therefore, in view of the applicants failure, both the appeals stood rejected by the order of the Prothonotary and Senior Master dated 17th December, 2015. 3.

We find that non-removal of office objections after the disposal of the notices of motion was inadvertent and bonafide. In the above view, the order dated 17th December, 2015 is set aside. We are informed that all office objections have now been removed.

4.

In the above view, both the Notices of Motion are allowed in terms of prayer clause (a).

5.

Appeals to come up on board in regular course. (A.K. MENON, J.) (M.S. SANKLECHA, J.) Uday S. Jagtap
