The tribunal noted that the applicant did not show when the report was requisitioned, gave no reason for any delay in seeking it, and did not explain why the appeal was filed without the report if it was material. A conditional request for notice to the respondents or for additional particulars did not cure the lack of a prima facie acceptable explanation. The application for condonation of delay was refused, and the appeal was dismissed as time-barred. en-us Tue, 02 Feb 1988 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 07 Jun 2011 15:38:03 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=74242 Delay in filing an appeal was not condoned because the explanation based on awaiting a Chief Chemist's test report was found unsatisfactory.
