Y. 2014-15 - 2- AO (CPC), Bangalore under Section 143(1) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 (hereinafter referred as to ‘the Act’) for Assessment Year 2014-15. 2. At the time of hearing of the instant appeal, none appeared on behalf of the appellant. Since, number of occasions the appellant did not appear before us and sometime written notes of submissions were filed, we decided to take up the matter ex parte. 3. After perusal of records placed before us, it is found that the appeal is barred by limitation for 43 days, a note in respect of such condonation of delay has been filed by the appellant wherein it was mentioned that the details in support of the explanation causing such delay will be furnished at the time of hearing of the matter. Needless to mention that those documents were not even filed by the appellant before us, neither any explanation has been rendered by the appellant in support of such delay caused in filing the instant appeal before us. We have very carefully verified the entire documents placed before us so filed by the appellant, nowhere any application for condonation of delay explaining such delay has been found to have been filed, nor any affidavit in support of delay has been filed by the appellant before us. Hence, the delay in preferring the appeal cannot be condoned in the absence of any application or affidavit filed by the appellant. Thus, the appeal cannot be admitted by ITA No. 319/Rjt/2022 [Vivek Vidhiya Vikas Trust vs. PCIT] A. Y. 2014-15 - 3- us. In that view of the matter, the appeal is found to be not maintainable as the same is barred by limitation. The appeal is, thus, dismissed. 4. In the result, appeal preferred by the appellant is dismissed.
