https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=186561 Delay of 1418 days in filing an intra-court appeal was condoned where the appellant established "sufficient cause" by showing he was misled by his own advocate into believing the appeal had been filed and was pending, though no appeal had in fact been instituted. The SC held that, despite the length of delay, the circumstances were exceptional and the appellant could not be treated as lacking diligence in pursuing the remedy. The delay was therefore condoned, the impugned order refusing condonation was set aside, and the matter was remitted to the HC for disposal of the appeal on merits in accordance with law. en-us Mon, 23 Aug 1999 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 01 Jan 2026 13:05:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=186561 Delay of 1418 days in filing an intra-court appeal was condoned where the appellant established "sufficient cause" by showing he was misled by his own advocate into believing the appeal had been filed and was pending, though no appeal had in fact been instituted.
