2023 (8) TMI 99 - SC ORDERInordinate delay of 1110, 1117 and 991 days respectively in refiling the said appeals - High Court has observed that the explanation offered for the condonation of delay sought for by the appellant herein could not be accepted, as, for a long time the appeals were lying in defect and therefore could not be listed before the Court - HELD THAT:- As we find that the High Court has not dealt with the appeals on merits and if the substantial questions of law are of significance then the High Court, in our view, ought to have condoned the delay in refiling the appeals and considered the cases on merits. We note that initially the appeals were filed in time. However, it is also an aspect to be noted that the delay of 1110, 1117 and 991 days respectively in refiling the respective appeals is considerable. Hence, we set aside the impugned orders and allow these appeals and restore the appeals before the High Court with cost of Rs. 50,000/- (Rupees fifty thousand only) to be paid by the appellant to the respondents in each of these appeals within a period of four weeks from today.
