P.C.

1.

We have heard learned counsel for the applicant on this interim application which is filed praying for condonation of delay in filing the aforesaid appeal under Section 260A of the Income Tax Act. The delay which is sought to be condoned is of 32 days.

2.

None for the respondent. The position in law in catena of judgments of the Supreme Court in regard to the principles to be followed on condoning the delay, is well settled.

3.

Having perused the memo of the application and considering the short period of delay, in our opinion, the reasons as set out certainly provide for an appropriate justification and a sufficient cause shown by the applicant in regard to the delay in filing the appeal. It is hence in the interest of justice that the delay is condoned.

4.

The application hence is allowed in terms of prayer clause (a). 5.

The appeal accordingly be listed for admission, subject to removal of objections, if any, to be removed within six weeks from today. 6.

Disposed of in the above terms. No costs.
