At the outset, we find that this appeal was filed with a delay of 424 days and no affidavit or a petition filed explaining the said delay. The ld. DR, Shri Sardar Singh Meena submits that the assessee requires to file an appeal within specified period. The copies of orders passed by the CIT(A) are uploaded to the e-mail of assessee and the assessee must have received the copy of impugned order on 24-04-2017 itself. He prayed to dismiss the appeal in limine. The impugned order was passed by the CIT(A) on 24-04- 2017 and the assessee requires to file an appeal before this Tribunal within 60 days from the date of receipt of said order. On an examination of record, we find the assessee filed memo of appeal by hand on 21-08-2018. After scrutiny the Registry of this Tribunal issued a defective notice dated 27-08-2018 stating that the appeal is barred by time by 424 days and also advised the assessee to rectify the defect within 10 days from the receipt of said notice. We find no compliance was made by the assessee to rectify the said defect by filing an application explaining the reasons for delay by way of an affidavit. Since, there is no explanation to that effect and in the absence of which, we have no option, except to dismiss the appeal in limine. Thus, the appeal is dismissed. 4.
