Delay condonation fails where unexplained inaction, missing affidavits, and no sufficient cause bar appellate consideration.

Delay condonation in filing the appeal applications was refused because the explanation for the 325-day delay was unsupported by affidavit, no time chart was produced despite repeated opportunities, and no affidavits were filed from the concerned counsel or the applicants themselves to explain the inaction. The record showed an enormous delay and negligent conduct, and no sufficient cause was established. As a result, the appeals were not entertained.
