marriage of the ld. A/R of the assessee is given. Further, the marriage of the ld. A/R

of the assessee cannot be an explanation for delay in filing the appeal of 7 months.

of the ld. D/R, we note that the only explanation furnished by the assessee is the

marriage of the ld. A/R. However, there is no specific date of marriage is mentioned

marriage of ld. A/R of the assessee. Further, no supporting document in support of

his explanation has been filed by the assessee. Accordingly, we are not satisfied
