CORAM : THE CHIEF JUSTICE DHIRAJ SINGH THAKUR SRI JUSTICE R RAGHUNANDAN RAO

DATE : 1st April 2024

PC:

The present application is filed seeking condonation of 377 days

delay in preferring an appeal against the judgment and order dated

20.02.2022. The appeal was filed on 17.03.2023. In the application it is

stated that the petitioner had got severe fever between 05.06.2022 to

28.07.2022, because of which the present appeal could not be filed.

2. However, assuming that the petitioner was unable to take steps to

prefer that appeal in the instant case during the period when he was

purportedly indisposed, yet there is no explanation in the application as to why still there was a gross delay beyond the period for which an

explanation has been rendered in paragraph No.3 of the application.

3. We are not convinced with the explanation rendered by the

applicant in the present application and find no reason to condone the

delay as has been prayed for and the application is according dismissed.

Subsequently, the Letters Patent Appeal shall stands dismissed. There

shall be no order as to costs.

Pending miscellaneous applications, if any, shall stand closed.
