The HC set aside the appellate order rejecting the appeal as time-barred because the authority failed to consider the petitioner's pleaded grounds for condonation of delay, including the assertion that filing was delayed due to counsel's mistake after documents had been handed over.

The matter was remitted to the appellate authority for fresh consideration in accordance with law after notice to the petitioner.
