2008 (8) TMI 335 - KARNATAKA HIGH COURTDelay in Appeal before High Court – delay of 1280 days – Held that - the non-availability of the certified copy of the order of CESTAT is not a sufficient cause to condone the delay of 1280 days. Further, it is not a case where the appeal has been filed with such delay along with the certified copy of the order - It pains us to state that it is unfortunate that the Government, its instrumentalities and Departments, which is the biggest litigant is not vigilant enough in prosecuting its cases in time particularly when the public exchequer is involved. The Government ought to be a model in these matters as it has all the wherewithal to contest cases in a timely manner as compared to an ordinary litigant.
