Condonation of 68 days' delay in filing appeal was denied due to lack of sufficient cause. The appellant failed to demonstrate how he was prevented from filing the appeal within the statutory period u/s 421(3) proviso. The court held that even after showing sufficient cause, parties are not entitled to condonation of delay as a matter of right; the court must exercise discretion. The appellant was clearly negligent, being aware of the order before the deadline, and had already pleaded for extension without prejudice to filing an appeal, indicating awareness of the right to appeal. The court found no sufficient cause preventing the appellant from filing within the extended period and dismissed the delay condonation application.
