Condonation of delay and no Tribunal error lead to dismissal of civil appeal on merits

A civil appeal challenging a Tribunal order failed because the appellant did not show sufficient cause for condonation of a 187-day delay. The SC also found, independently on the facts and circumstances, that the Tribunal's order disclosed no error of law or fact warranting interference. The delay was therefore not condoned and the appeal was dismissed on merits, leaving the Tribunal's decision undisturbed.

Issues: Whether the delay of 187 days in filing the civil appeal deserved condonation and whether interference with the Tribunal's order was warranted.

Analysis: The application for condonation of delay did not disclose sufficient cause. Independently, on consideration of the facts and circumstances, the Tribunal's decision was found to suffer from no error of law or fact calling for interference.

Conclusion: The delay was not condoned and the appeal was dismissed on merits as well, resulting in dismissal of the challenge to the Tribunal's order.
