.... filing an appeal had lapsed. The delay of approximately 1175 days in filing the appeal was entirely unintentional and arose from bona fide circumstances beyond our control. There was no malafide intent to disregard statutory timelines, and the delay was caused by genuine challenges faced during an unprecedented period. An application has been filed requesting this Hon'ble Tribunal to kindly condone the delay in filing the appeal and admit it for adjudication in the interest of justice and equity.
