CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH
       HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ALOK JAIN

Present:     Mr. Sanjiv Gupta, Advocate,
             for the appellant.

AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH, J. (ORAL)

CM-2349-LPA-2021& LPA-997-2021 (O&M)

There is a delay of 600 days in filing the appeal.

There is no explanation whatsoever worth consideration which

would explain the inordinate and exceptional long delay in filing the appeal.

Otherwise also, on going through the judgment passed by the learned Single

Judge dated 22.04.2019, which has been impugned, we do not find any

ground for interfering in the present appeal as the learned Single Judge has

rightly observed that there are disputed questions of facts involved in the

petition which was preferred by the appellant where authenticity and

veracity of the quantum of medical bills in the treatment of patients had to

be established on the basis of the evidence led by the parties. The Court has

rightly relegated the petitioner (appellant herein) to the alternative remedy

available to him in accordance with law.

The appeal, therefore, stands dismissed on the grounds of delay

as well as on merits.

1 of 2

CM-2348-LPA-2021

In view of the dismissal of the main appeal, the present

application has been rendered infructuous and the same is disposed of as

such.
