The court condoned the delay in re-filing the appeal based on reasons presented, upheld the finding that the delay in deposit transfer was due to the bank's processing, and clarified that the investment in the residential house was made by the company, not the individual assessee.

2. The appeal involves the first substantial question of law regarding the deduction under Section 54F of the Income Tax Act, 1961. The appellant contests the compliance with the requirement of depositing the amount before filing the return. The Tribunal found that the money was instructed to be transferred on time, and the delay in actual transfer was due to the bank's processing. Since no separate instructions were given the next day, the finding is upheld, and the appeal on this ground is dismissed.
3. The second substantial question pertains to the exemption of investment in a residential house by the company. The judgment clarifies that the investment was made by the company, not the assessee individually. The company had provided funds to the assessee for purchasing the property.
