Admittedly, notice has been issued in view of a communication received from his superior officer. It is rather obvious that the AO has not applied his mind - Delayed filling SLP HELD THAT:- Though there is delay of 142 days in filing this Special Leave Petition, we nevertheless have heard learned counsel for the petitioners on the merits of the case also. We do not find any merit in the Special Leave Petition. Hence, the Special Leave Petition is dismissed.
