2021 (2) TMI 1214 - SC - Indian LawsCondonation of delay in filing application - sufficient cause for delay given or not - Question of parity in the pay-scale of the employees of the Central Tibetan School Administration - HELD THAT:- The casual manner in which the petitioner has approached this Court without any cogent or plausible ground for condonation of delay, is clear. In fact, other than the lethargy and incompetence of the petitioner, there is nothing which has been put on record. We have repeatedly discouraged State Governments and public authorities in adopting an approach that they can walk in to the Supreme Court as and when they please ignoring the period of limitation prescribed by the Statutes, as if the Limitation statute does not apply to them. The “certificate cases” filed with the only object to obtain a quietus from the Supreme Court on the ground that nothing could be done because the highest Court has dismissed the appeal. The objective is to complete a mere formality and save the skin of the officers who may be in default in following the due process or may have done it deliberately - The irony, emphasized is that no action is ever taken against the officers and if the Court pushes it, some mild warning is all that happens. SLP dismissed as time barred.
