Delay condonation, section 5

I remember a case where Supreme Court condoned a delay of 2250 days, so if you can explain the delay properly the court will certainly condone the delay extending to the period of presenting your appeal application.

There must be a sufficient cause for the delay


However small delays as in your case can be easily condoned


Take a defence that Condoning of delay by court doesn't decide the case.... It only allows you i.e gives you the right to fight the case....

Delay can be condoned on


explanation of satisfactory cause of each day delay.

Sir, do I need to show the cause from the expiry of limitation to filing date (or) time wasted within/during limitation period is enough??

Party has to establish sufficient cause for not filing it bfore the limitation expired as required by secion 5, and in doing so, delay which can be avoided by due care and attention cannot constitute sufficient cause. In consturing sufficient cause the Court must give liberal construction to the said words, rather than giving hyper technical meaning in the context of the subject matter involved in the case, and each day delay after the expiry of the period of limitation is to be explained and not each day's delay of the impugned order.
