The Supreme Court, in a brief order, exercised its discretionary jurisdiction to allow a delayed petition, recording "Delay condoned." The order reflects the court's invocation of equitable relief from the bar of limitation, permitting adjudication of merits despite procedural lapse. No reasons are set out in the text provided beyond the condonation; the operative effect is that the petition is entertained notwithstanding the delay, thereby removing limitation as a preliminary ground for rejection and enabling substantive consideration of the claims. The order is procedural and interlocutory in character, addressing admissibility rather than the merits of the underlying controversy.
