Appellate authority lacked power to condone delay beyond the statutory 90-day limitation, so its dismissal on an 88-day delay was technically proper. The High Court, exercising writ jurisdiction under Article 226, may condone delay if reasons are stated in the memo of appeal; on the facts hospitalisation of the appellant's mother for cancer and a bona fide deposit (7.5%) towards filing the High Court exercised that power and set aside the impugned order, with stay operating in favour of the appellant since 06.02.2017.
