SMT. RITU GUPTA BEFORE :

THE HON'BLE JUSTICE T.S. SIVAGNANAM And THE HON'BLE JUSTICE HIRANMAY BHATTACHARYYA Date : 2nd March, 2023 Appearance :

Mr. Soumen Bhattacharjee, Adv.

...for appellant Ms. Sapna Das, Adv.

Mr. S. Das, Adv.

...for respondent The Court : - This appeal by the revenue have been filed beyond the period of limitation.

There is a delay of 1252 days in filing the appeal. Heard learned Counsel for either side.

On perusal of the affidavit filed in support of the condone delay petition we find that sufficient cause has not been shown for not preferring the appeals within the period of limitation. Further we note that decision to file this appeal was taken much after the decision of this Court in PCIT-5 vs. SWATI BAJAJ 2022 SCC ONLINE CAL 1572. Thus we are not persuaded to exercise any discretion in favour of the appellant/revenue.

Consequently, the application is dismissed and the appeal stands rejected. (T.S. SIVAGNANAM, J.) (HIRANMAY BHATTACHARYYA, J.) Pkd/GH.
