Condonation of delay - delay of 676 days - HELD THAT:- There is a gross delay of 676 days in preferring the present Petition which has not been satisfactorily explained by the petitioner(s). - No good reason to interfere with the impugned order [2023 (6) TMI 685 - JHARKHAND HIGH COURT] passed by the High Court. - Special Leave Petition is, therefore, dismissed on the ground of delay as well as merits. Issues: Whether the Special Leave Petition should be entertained despite a delay of 676 days and whether interference with the High Court's order is warranted on merits.Analysis: The Court noted a gross unexplained delay of 676 days in filing the Special Leave Petition and examined whether such delay could be condoned. Independently, the Court considered the merits of the challenge to the High Court's order and found no reason to interfere. The combined effect of the unexplained delay and absence of merit led the Court to refuse relief.Conclusion: The Special Leave Petition is dismissed on the grounds of delay and on merits; decision is in favour of the Respondent.
