Delay Condonation Appeal Dismissed for Lack of Sufficient Cause Under Article 136, Confirming Earlier Judgment

SC upheld the HC's refusal to condone delay in filing the appeal, holding that no sufficient cause was shown for the belated filing. Exercising its discretionary jurisdiction under Article 136, SC declined to interfere with the HC's order. Consequently, the Special Leave Petition was dismissed and the impugned judgment of the HC stood confirmed.

The matter came before the Supreme Court as a Special Leave Petition (SLP) under Article 136 of the Constitution of India, challenging an unspecified impugned order. The Court first granted permission to file the SLP without a certified or plain copy of the impugned order, thereby relaxing the usual procedural requirement regarding documentation. However, after hearing counsel for the petitioner, the Court expressly stated that it was "not inclined to entertain the Special Leave Petition under Article 136 of the Constitution of India." No reasons or discussion of the merits were provided, making this a non-speaking order declining to exercise the Court's discretionary jurisdiction under Article 136. Consequently, the SLP was dismissed, and all pending applications in the matter were also disposed of.
