In this judgment by the Gujarat High Court, the issue at hand was the delay of 696 days in preferring a tax appeal.

The court considered the arguments presented by both parties, where Shri Raj Vyas, advocate for the applicant, and Shri Devang Vyas, Assistant Solicitor General of India, representing the respondent.
