Challenge to dismissal of an excise appeal and refusal to restore the condonation application turned on whether "sufficient cause" existed for (i) the initial 98-day delay and (ii) the seven-year delay in seeking restoration. The record showed repeated negligence: belated filing, failure to file an affidavit despite directions, non-appearance, and an inordinate restoration delay. Financial constraint and closure of operations were treated as mere excuses, not a credible explanation, consistent with the principle that delay cannot be condoned absent bona fide diligence. The writ court found no grounds to interfere with the tribunal's discretionary refusal to condone/restore and dismissed the petition - HC
