Delay in filing the appeal before the Securities Appellate Tribunal was condoned because the appellant showed personal and financial difficulties, family obligations, the father's medical condition, Covid-19 related financial disruption, and a change of address affecting receipt of the impugned order. The decisive consideration was that the forum provides a first appeal on facts and law, and that appellate remedy is a valuable right. The Court therefore condoned the delay subject to costs, set aside the refusal to condone, and restored the appeal for decision on merits without examining the substantive dispute.
