The Court held that while litigation should not be rejected on technical grounds of limitation, inordinate delay requires consideration of sufficient cause and bona fide conduct. The Court found that the State's explanation lacked sufficient cause, noting that despite knowing the 30-day limitation period for intra-court appeals, the State acted lethargically without demonstrating bona fide approach.
