Oza, J.1. This is an application submitted by the CIT, Madhya Pradesh, Bhopal, under Section 256(2) of the I.T. Act, 1961.2. The assessment year about which this application is made is 1961-62 for which the accounting period ended on 31st March, 1961. The assessee filed the return of his income declaring only Rs. 12,811. The ITO by his order dated February 26, 1966, determined the total income of the non-applicant-assessee at Rs. 1,16,494. It is alleged that notice under Section 22 of the Indian I.T, Act, 1922, was served on the non-applicant on June 20, 1961, and the return was due to be filed within 35 days thereof. The return, however, was ultimately filed on 21st December, 1962. The ITO by his order dated February 15, 1968, held that there was delay of 17 months in filing the return.
