B.P. Jeevan Reddy, C.J.1. A common question arises in this batch of six writ petitions. They can, therefore, be disposed of by a common order.

B.P. Jeevan Reddy, C.J.1. This writ petition is directed against an order of the Income-tax Appellate Tribunal, Allahabad, dismissing the application for condoning the delay in filing the application under section 256(1) of the Income-tax Act. A few dates may be given : The Tribunal disposed of the appeal on April 22, 1987. An application under section 256(1) has to be filed within sixty days of the date of service of the order of the Tribunal. The application was, however, filed on November 17, 1987. Along with this application, the petitioner filed an application for condoning the delay. His explanation was that the order dated April 22, 1987, was served upon one Jagannath Prasad on May 26, 1987, and that the said Jagannath Prasad was in no way connected or concerned with the assessee-firm. He was only a personal acquaintance of Sri Krishna Gopal, Kanpur, one of the partners.

B.P. Jeevan Reddy, C.J.1. By this application under section 256(2) of the Income-tax Act, 1961, the Revenue is asking this court to direct the Tribunal to state the following question :'Whether, on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the Tribunal was justified, in law, in upholding the order of the Appellate Assistant Commissioner who cancelled the order of fresh assessments made by the Assessing Officer relying on the Income-tax Appellate Tribunal's order in the case of Smt. Hero Devi Tandon ?'2. The Tribunal has merely followed its earlier decision while disposing of the appeal before it.
