Condonation of delay under an incentive scheme upheld, with the merits-based consideration direction left undisturbed.

The order under challenge treated the incentive scheme as conferring power on the District Level Screening Committee and the appellate authority to condone delay in filing an application and to examine the condonation request on merits. On that basis, the Rajasthan HC found no reason to interfere, and the revision was dismissed. The direction to consider the application on merits remained undisturbed.
