Condonation of delay in filing appeal denied after 520-day unexplained delay; petition for special leave not entertained
Condonation of delay in filing an appeal was considered on the ground of a 520-day delay. The legal basis applied was the requirement of a satisfactory explanation for delay; no such explanation was found, resulting in dismissal of the condonation application and the appeal not being entertained. The operative effect is that excessive unexplained delay defeats leave to appeal and the filing is barred on procedural limitation grounds.
The Supreme Court of India dismissed a Special Leave Petition due to a delay of 520 days in filing, with no satisfactory explanation provided. As a result, the application for condonation of delay was also dismissed. The Court clarified that no opinion was expressed on the raised question of law due to the dismissal based on delay. Pending applications were disposed of.
