Present Miscellaneous Application has been filed on 2nd August, 2009 and Tribunal passed order on 14th March, 2013, meaning thereby, the Miscellaneous Application is time barred by 2073 days. In its application for condonation of delay, alongwith an affidavit has been filed by Hitendra Sheth, CA who stated that he was under the belief that there is a time limit of four years for filing of Miscellaneous Application before the Tribunal and could not give any plausible explanation for condonation of delay.

Present Tribunal is not inclined to condone the delay as it is well settled principle that ignorance of law is not an excuse.

The miscellaneous application filed by the Assessee is dismissed.
