Challenge to dismissal of the statutory appeal as time-barred beyond four months turned on whether sufficient cause was shown for condonation. The petitioner relied on alleged hospitalization of counsel's wife but produced no supporting medical documents or counsel declaration either before the appellate authority or with the writ, despite repeated opportunities and adjournments, including after refiling following registry objections.
