2024 (3) TMI 1142 - AT - Insolvency and BankruptcyCondonation of delay in filing appeals - relevant date would be the date of knowledge of order or not - Section 61(2) of IBC - HELD THAT:- In the present case, the Impugned Order dated 24th April, 2023 was pronounced on 24th April, 2023 which is mentioned in the Impugned Order itself when order is pronounced by the Court the pronouncement is for all concerned - having already held that Hon’ble Supreme Court in Safire Technologies Pvt. Ltd. [2022 (6) TMI 285 - SC ORDER] laid down that commencement of the period of limitation for filing an appeal under Section 61 is not date when Appellant came to knowledge of the Order. The mere fact that Appellants claim that they were not aware of the process of CIRP nor they could file any claim in the CIRP cannot be a ground to permit the condonation of delay which is beyond condonable period. Ignorance of entire CIRP Process cannot be a ground to condone the delay which is beyond condonable period. From the facts brought on record by the parties, it is clear that several Appellants who had filed the Appeals against the Order dated 24th April, 2023 along with delay condonation applications which applications were rejected on the ground that delay was beyond 15 days. The order passed by this Tribunal rejecting similar applications filed by the other Appellants/Applicants cannot be ignored. There are no grounds made in these applications to condone the inordinate delay of 223/230 days in filing these Appeals - the delay condonation applications are dismissed.
