2019 (2) TMI 1502 - HC - Companies LawCondonation of delay in filing the present appeal beyond the period of 60 days as provided under section 10F of the Companies Act 1956 - HELD THAT:- There is a merit in the contention of the learned counsel for the respondents that the dates relied upon by the appellant are not reliable. In fact, in the application for condonation of delay, the appellant himself states that copy of the impugned order dated 12.08.2014 was received by him on or before 25.08.2014. In case, copy of the order was received after 25.08.2014, the delay in filing the appeal would not be condonable. The grounds stated for seeking condonation of delay inspire no confidence. As per the application, it is claimed that appellant being the brother-in-law tried to resolve the matter out of court. It is pleaded that settlement talks between the parties ultimately failed due to the greed of respondent No.2 and hence, the appellant could not file the appeal within the statutory period. Hence, condonation of delay is sought. As noted, the grounds so stated inspire no confidence and the delay cannot be condoned on the said grounds. There is a merit in the contention of the respondents that the present appeal has been filed against the order by which the review petition filed by the appellants against the order dated 30.04.2014 was dismissed. The appellant herein seeks to also assail the original order dated 30.04.2014. Keeping in view the above conduct of the appellant and the legal position, in my opinion, no grounds are made out to condone the delay in filing the application.
