13-IA-565-2026.DOC IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY ORDINARY ORIGINAL CIVIL JURISDICTION INTERIM APPLICATION NO. 565 OF 2026 IN INCOME TAX APPEAL (L) NO. 2434 OF 2024 Pr. Commissioner of Income Tax 8 ...Applicant Versus Thirumalai Chemicals Limited ...Respondent _________ Mr. Dhananjay B. Deshmukh for Applicant. __________ CORAM: G. S. KULKARNI & AARTI SATHE, JJ. DATE: 10 JULY 2026 P.C. 1. It is informed by learned counsel for the applicant/appellant that the respondent is served and an affidavit of service is already placed on record. However, despite service, the respondent is not represented. 2. This Interim Application is moved for condonation of delay of 125 days in filing the appeal under Section 260A of the Income-tax Act. 3. Having perused the memo of the application and considering the period of delay not being very gross, in our opinion, the reasons as set out certainly provide for an appropriate justification and a sufficient cause shown by the applicant in regard to the delay in filing the appeal. It is hence in the interest of justice that the delay is condoned. 4. Office objections, if any, be removed within eight weeks from today. 5. Interim application is accordingly allowed in terms of prayer clause (a). (AARTI SATHE, J.) (G. S.
