Issues involved: Condonation of delay in filing the appeal before the High Court.
The Supreme Court, in a case involving an application seeking condonation of delay of 656 days in filing an appeal before the High Court, examined the explanation provided for the delay. The applicant cited circumstances beyond their control, including non-traceability of case records, procedural formalities, administrative difficulties, and shortage of staff as reasons for the delay. However, the Court held that the explanation provided was insufficient to warrant condonation of the delay. Consequently, the Court dismissed the Special Leave Petition both on the grounds of delay and on merits.
