ITAT ought to have condoned 53 days' delay in preferring appeal as appellant explained delay occurred due to wrong advice of counsel to reapply for registration u/s 12A, and thereafter realizing mistake after delay in deciding reapplication. Cause shown for delay supported by affidavit uncontroverted by Revenue.
