7. In Basawaraj and Ors Versus The Spl. Land Acquisition Officer
AIR 2014 SC 746 Hon'ble Apex Court observed that, the term
"sufficient cause" means the party should not have acted in a
negligent manner or there was a want of bona fide on its part and
circumstances of a case or it cannot be alleged that the party has not
acted diligently or remained inactive. If the cause for delay would fall
within the four corners of sufficient cause, irrespective of the length of
delay same deserve to be condoned. However, if the cause shown is
insufficient, irrespective of the period of delay, same would not be
condoned. In Anshul Aggarwal Versus New Okhla Industrial
Development Authority, (2011) 14 SCC 578 Hon'ble Supreme Court
observed that, the object of expeditious adjudication of the consumer
dispute will get defeated, if the highly belated appeals and revision
petitions are entertained. In Sheo Raj Singh (Deceased) Through Lrs.
& Ors. Vs. Union Of India & Anr. (Civil Appeal No. 5867 Of 2015; 9
October, 2023)......... Hon'ble Supreme Court observed that
condonation of delay being a discretionary power available to courts,
5 MA/403/2024 in FA/466/2024
exercise of discretion must necessarily depend upon the sufficiency of
the cause shown and the degree of acceptability of the explanation,
the length of delay being immaterial. The settled principle for the
condonation of delay is that, condonation of delay is not a matter of
right and the applicant has to set out the case showing sufficient
reasons which prevented him to come to the Court/Commission
within the stipulated period of limitation. Another principle is that, a
party who has not acted diligently or remains inactive is not entitled
for condonation of delay.
